In this episode, we explore the defense of Necessity — when breaking the rules is legally justified to prevent greater harm.  From stormy backyard emergencies to real-world cases like docked ships, we break down the difference between Public and Private Necessity and how they apply in the law.  Tune in to learn how far you can go in an emergency without crossing the legal line.
