In this episode of Law School in Plain English, we explore the defense of others—when you can step in to protect someone else and how the law determines if your actions are justified. Using a dramatic family reunion scenario and real-world examples, we break down the key elements: imminent threat, reasonable belief, and proportional response. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of this powerful legal defense and its real-world applications. Tune in as we continue to demystify legal concepts one episode at a time!
