Learned Hands: The Official Podcast of the Westerosi Bar Association

In this episode of Learned Hands, the Official Podcast of the Westerosi Bar Association, Maester Merry & Clint from Laws of Ice and Fire ask: What is Guest Right and how does it apply to Westeros?

Our analysis this week includes:

• All your questions about Guest Right, answered!
• We talk about what Guest Right is, where it came from, and what you have to do to invoke it!
• We decide whether there’s a “bared steel” exception to Guest Right!
• Clint talks about suicide pacts, for funsies!
• We put some respect on Gilly’s name!
• Merry teaches us all about Xenia (Not the Warrior Princess)!
• In depth discussion of the elements of contract law in a way that is fun probably!
• We call the Freys bad names! A lot!

This episode is a necessary prelude to Part 2 of our Guest Right series, coming soon: No Crime More Foul, Pt. II: Did Wyman Manderly violate Guest Right? Don’t miss it!
