Santa's Not Guilty: Buddy the Elf's Legal Adventure
Update: 2025-12-23
Description
Georgetown law professor Vida Johnson analyzes the legality of Santa Claus kidnapping Buddy the Elf from the orphanage in the movie Elf. She concludes that Santa is not guilty of kidnapping, as it was an accident and he didnt force Buddy to stay. Buddy had a great life at the North Pole and was encouraged to find his real dad. Johnson suggests that if anyone is in trouble, its Buddy for minor offenses like trespassing and stalking his dad. The movie, starring Will Ferrell, has become a Christmas classic, earning over $225 million at the box office.
