Help! I am addicted! May 30, 2005
Posted by atharkhan in : Law School , trackbackHelp!! I am addicted to Law & Order…
Now that I am taking Criminal Procedure, I am totally hooked onto this show. Its unbelievable how many legal terms they use and how accurate everything is. I am watching it at a whole new level. The other day, I had just done my reading on Privacy and the 4th Amendment…and boom!…The L&A was about just that. Man… I watched 4 shows last night and was up till 5 AM! I need to break this habit before it becomes as insane as it used to be with “The Practice.”
The thing I liked about The Practice (and now Boston Legal) is that these are the only two shows that I know of that represent the defense side of things…..something that is not thought very highly of by people not within the legal field. In fact, I am sure even self-righteous attorneys look down on them. Its interesting to watch how the system is a product of checks and balances. I guess thats what makes it work.
My personal interest lies in Intellectual Property. I am a techie at heart (I really wanted to grow up to be a geek but I cant write any code!!) and this is the closest thing to it in Law. Plus, there are no crying children, dead bodies, homes being split up, divorces, custody battles…. in other words, there isnt a lot of human suffering…or atleast thats what I am hoping it will be.
Anyway, speaking of Intellectual Property, I need to go and read about 210 pages of Patent Law by tomorrow… guess how many I have read so far? Thats right! zero! But, that was because I was busy as heck reading 7 Supreme Court cases on Privacy….and watching Law & Order ofcourse :-)
Bye for now!
