I might actually consider going to law school if it were like this:

I was wandering through Seneca the Elder today... controversiae are hilarious:

The Man Released By his Son the Pirate King
A certain man, when his wife died, from whom he had two sons, married another. He convicted one of the youths at home of parricide; he handed him over to his brother to be punished, who put him in a faulty boad. The youth, carried toward pirates, was made Pirate King (nb the word is archipirata, in case you were wondering). Later the father, having set out abroad, was captured by him and set free to go back home. He disinherits the other son [for disobedience].

OR

The Madman who Married his Daughter to his Slave
A tyrant permitted slaves to rape their mistresses, having killed their masters. The leading men of the city fled; among them one who had a son and a daughter set out abroad. Although all the slaves violated their mistresses, his slaves preserved [his daughter] as a virgin. The tyrant killed, the leading men returned; they put their slaves to the cross. But this man manumitted his slave and gave him his daughter. He is accused by his son of madness.

Or this (tyrants are always fun:

The man beaten by his son in the Citadel
The tyrant called the father with his two sons to the citadel. He ordered the youths to beat (nb the word usually means "kill" but that obviously doesn't work; is also can mean "sodomize"...) their father. One of them flung himself off the citadel, the other beat him. After, he was received into the tyrant's friendship. When the tyrant was killed, he got the reward. The son is to be punished [for striking his father]. His father defends him

So are pirates:

The Prostitute-Priestess
A certain virgin, captured by pirates, was put up for sale. She was bought by a pander and prostituted. She begged alms from her clients. A soldier who had come to her, when she couldn't beg from him, and he was struggling and trying to rape her, she killed. Accused and absolved, she was returned to her family. She seeks a priesthood.

The Tyrannicide Freed by Pirates
A certain killed one brother, a tyrant, and the other when he caught him in adultery, in spite of his father's pleading. Captured by pirates, he write his father about ransom. The father wrote a letter to the pirates: if they cut off his hands first, he would give them double The pirates release him [with hands]. He isn't supporting his impoverished father.

Okay, there are a fair number of more "normal" ones about adopting/disinheriting children, whether or not to bury a suicide, whether Cicero's killer, whom Cicero had previously defended, is guilty of ingratitude. But they aren't nearly as much fun.
