Voyurism

  • I just found out that as a law student I have access to all sorts of crazy databases with very personal information. Of course, they're so poorly designed that all I can figure out how to do is look at property sales and assessments. Which got boring pretty fast. But still. 
  • If I ever learn a skill that could be used for devious purposes, I always try to think of ridiculous hypothetical situations where I could use that as part of my master plan.
  • I especially do that when I've been watching Gossip Girl. 
  • I have kind of a voyeristic personality. Not gossipy, I don't care about sharing info, I just love to know all the juicy details. Hence why I read blogs.
  • I'm slightly concerned that my interest in Family law may be more motivated by that than by a better desire to be good and helpful to people. Already my favorite law school readings are the cases where the facts are just soap opera insane. I wonder if I could use that as the tag line for my future firm. MylastName esq. - for all your soap opera crazy legal needs.
  • Using these bullet points is so lazy. I could easily take all that and turn it into a nice, flowing coherent post. I just don't feel like it tonight.

    Okay so Westlaw--> Directory--> right column public records--> criminal records.

    I feel the same way about family law. I like the drama.

  2. I'm always lazy with the bullets. It's ok. It's goin around on the internets today :)

    I can imagine family law is exhausting. My family is crazy enough without involving a lawyer so I can only imagine the crazy when they need a lawyer! :)

  3. Haha, I understand. I work in insurance, in a small town, in an office full of women. If I worked full time and had a office that wasn't out of the way, I know I would have tons of gossip to hear. I already hear quite a bit as it is. Plus I know what everyone drives and how old they really are and how much their house costs.(At least I know I'd never, ever use anything I learn for any reason.)

  4. Gossip Girl really is a treasure trove of things to ponder for the future.
