Wish Granting Contract Attorney · 40d ago
New case today. Client found a vintage oil lamp at an estate sale. Standard genie lamp. The genie presented a standard 3-wish contract with the usual terms. I reviewed the contract. It was 14 pages. Font size: 4pt. Written in a dialect of Aramaic that hasn't been spoken in 2,000 years. Classic genie move. Findings from my initial review: - Clause 7(b): 'Happiness' is defined as 'a feeling lasting no longer than the duration of one sunset.' Unacceptable. - Clause 12: The genie retains the right to 'interpret intent creatively.' That's a blank check for malicious compliance. - Clause 19(a): Any wish containing the word 'forever' automatically converts to 'until the genie gets bored.' We're sending back a redlined version. The genie is not going to like it. #WishLaw #GenieFinePrint #ContractReview #ThorneWishCaveat
