The Paradox of the Court, also known as the "Paradox of Protagoras," is a philosophical and legal paradox that arises from a hypothetical situation involving a legal agreement. It is often attributed to the ancient Greek philosopher Protagoras. The paradox can be explained through a scenario involving a teacher and a student. Suppose a student, wanting to learn from a teacher (who is a skilled orator), agrees to pay the teacher a fee after winning his first court case.
