I\u2019ve been watching old episodes of The Practice and Murder One on Hulu non-stop. I haven\u2019t even turned on my TV, except to watch golf coverage over the weekend.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m taking Criminal Procedure at school this semester. It\u2019s the only exposure to criminal law I\u2019ve had to date. Criminal procedure, not to be confused with criminal law, is the \u201clegal process for adjudicating claims that someone has violated criminal law.\u201d (Cite) I never thought I would be interested in criminal law, however the cases in my Procedure class are some of the most interesting I\u2019ve read. There is no shortage of drugs, death or other allegedly illicit illegal activity. When compared to 50-page antitrust cases where the highlight is the court finding that company A orchestrated a horizontal merger among companies B and C, criminal law is a thrilling read.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the shows are interesting, and it\u2019s always fun to relate what I\u2019m learning to a television show.<\/p>\n
(Last semester it was applying my newly acquired common sense Professional Responsibility knowledge to pick out moments when the lawyers crossed the line of ethics on Boston Legal.) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
