When Grumpy Cat Becomes Grumpy Plaintiff: Memes In Court

Law360, New York ( March 9, 2017, 11:29 AM EST) -- Over the past few years, memes have become an increasingly ubiquitous form of online communication, touching on topics ranging from politics and culture to family and sports. The internet has been flooded with thousands of memes, including favorites such as "Dat Boi" (an animation of a digital frog riding a unicycle), "This is Fine" (a cartoon of an optimistic dog sitting in a house engulfed with flames) and "Ryan Gosling Won't Eat His Cereal" (a photo of the film star looking chagrined with a spoonful of cereal superimposed near his face). Even the typically staid legal world has not been immune, as "The Notorious R. B. G. " meme has turned Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg into a social media sensation. . . .
