Law Shows

One of the upsetting things about law school is watching Boston Legal, Law & Order, and other legal shows. What we notice now are the specious claims (we also use the word specious), the contrived circumstances, and the questionable, if not outright wrong, legal rules. However, they often get things right, especially when the thing isn't driving the plot.

They also say things like "I became a lawyer because of blah blah blah." These people don't really exist.

Long story short, if you love your Law & Order, prepared to be let down.
