Let's talk about mixing law with things that are interesting.
I went to court today... for uni... yay. NOT. (oh i love not-jokes now) (not!).
You see i feel the oppression of an old taboo that makes me think that i can't mix law and fun. But in my head they are mixed, and therefore i figure this taboo must be culturally bred.
So i am revolting.
Now to the admission:
i thought the defendant in court today was really attractive. And it wasn't like i was actually drooling over him, or even daydreaming when i was meant to be taking notes. It was more like "mm, now that is a nush."
And then there was the clerk, those blond tips really suited him as well.
As for the judge - i did cast a thought as to who might have any interest in someone that grumpy. Well i kept that thought to myself, but you know.
The woman lawyer was dowdy. Oh, excuse me, the solicitor. In fact when she thought she was whispering, she was really whisper-shouting. you know the type, I'm sure. But that is unfair of me, because it takes guts to be in a room surrounded by only men with law degrees or money. Or both. i take off my hat.
I haven't come up with it yet, but the court room needs a make-over. whether of ideas, or attitudes or just SOMETHING. The room is modern enough but what's it really saying? i think a little inspirational artwork could go a LONG WAY. Maybe a Miro or something. Hey, I'm all for it (also it will bring me closer to a strange fantasy of mine, but we won't go into that).
Moving on, I swear the defendant's barrister talked like he was off a legal show "Is it true to say" "Can it be assumed" "May i put it like this" "could i rephrase for you "Can you please just acknowledge my greatness" "My mother breast fed me and I never got over it". I seriously do not know where i would fit into this institution.
But you know, i think they scared the CRAP out of the witness... and that is scary. How am I meant to scare the crap out of anybody, WITH INTENTION. Like I will admit that I scare the crap out of people, BUT I DON'T MEAN TO. I reckon that if i tried, i would just end up the with complete opposite effect - they would pet me in the court room, like some domesticated reptile.
There is too much that needs to change - on all sides of this. It seems like a massive compromise to do a law degree. One has to be prepared to let go of themselves, and at the same time the law must make way for new people... It's all very precarious.
Oh well, I am more fortunate than most so I will stop complaining.
okay well it is my blog so i can theoretically complain about anything i damn well want.

Nechy, it's Jade.
Can I just say, yet again, how grateful I am that I do not study law with you.
