Does watching People's Court count as studying for law school?
The answer to this question on Thursday was an emphatic: YES!
People's Court helped me analyze tortious claims involving negligence, liability and helped me appreciate the role contracts play in our daily lives. Look at the stuff I've learned to throw around and only two weeks in law school!
I went to my brother's house on Thursday. He was having a party for watching "football." He made some diagrams and whatnot for me before the game started so I'd understand what was happening. I ended up socializing for most of the game anyways.
Tonight I'm hitting the town with some law school buddies, venturing off my usual home to law school to home route.
Oh, and for the record, my underwear was in a hamper that was accessible to the dog. I have since moved it.
Nothing else to report!
Hugs,
Lauren

Yay! I'm so glad you're still blogging!! I miss you, dear. We're going to the 'dome to watch some fooseball today - a very fall-esque day.. I miss summer already. We're planning our roadtrip through the south - will any time in November work for you, or do you think you'll be enveloped in exams? Call me and we'll figure it out!

Hi Lauren:
I had decided to reduce the frequency of my contributions to the commentary section of this blog site but the subject of your most recent blog has caused me to delay that frequency reduction for this topic. I just can’t possibly pass up the opportunity to contribute some comment about your favorable opinion regarding the educational value of “The People’s Court. (Is Judge Woppner still presiding?)
You must have a very busy afternoon schedule with Judge Hatchett, Divorce Court, Judge Alex, Judge Mathis, Judge Lopez, Judge David Young, Judge Joe Brown and Judge Judy, in addition to The People’s Court, all being in session from noon to 5 PM. You may have to record some of those sessions in order to keep up with all the precedent setting decisions being made. And those are just the commercial stations………..no telling how many more if one were to check the cable schedules. If The People’s Court can help you to analyze tortious claims, good for you! Others may find the experience to be “tortuous”! Is “The People’s Court” in the Law School syllabus as required watching for this first quarter? If so, your Dad must be wondering why he sent you all the way to Nashville when you could have acquired the same court exposure here in Minasoda.
But it does make for some interesting speculation about your future practice:
Counselor Lauren Winter: “Your Honor I object”.
Judge: “On what basis?”
CLW: “Well in the case of Jones vs. the State of Hilarity, Judge Judy ruled that the plaintiff has the right to object whenever he/she desired, without having to show cause. And that was further upheld by Judge Joe Brown in a later episode, though Judges Alex and Lopez subsequently ruled that there may be instances wherein having to show some reasonable cause might be desirable. And Judges Mathis and Young concurred in the opinion.”
Judge: “Hmmmm……..interesting. I must have missed that episode. Do you recall when that aired, counselor?
CLW: “I’ll have to check my old TV schedules and get back to you on that, Your Honor.”
It’s a good thing that you’re not in Med school and watching ER!
Now I feel better!
George
