Unrelated to strictly legal shows, but I've been super interested in how superhero movies/shows/stories treat the law.

Yeah! I got a couple episodes in then got sidetracked with LSAT/application stuff, but I've been planning on getting back into it. I think Jessica Jones is also a really interesting example.lemondrop wrote:Ooh, have you watched Daredevil??

Many scenes in Jessica Jones were kind of hard to watch (I'm terrible with graphic things and watching people suffering in any way

Because of this this post by Timantha, I've decide to binge on both Daredevil and especially Jessica

You will love both of them if you like superheroes and dark psychological thriller shows! Definitely a great way to pass the time while waiting now that you're done with the Feb test!

Anyone watch Brooklyn 99? I really loved the arc when Jake dated Eva Longoria's DA character and got a good chuckle out of all the swipes at lawyers

Love the show, it's reminiscent of Parks and Rec in many ways for me

Look kid, you're not a lady. You said you were before and then we found out you were actually a dude. And you're STILL posting in here.
I don't care if you want to discuss Jessica Jones. That's what the compendium is for. But your insistence on posting in the ladies thread when you are a dude is disrespectful.

Quite a few of the choices in the current poll have either written memoirs or have books about them. I've been reading one of Samantha Power's books lately, and The Underground Girls of Kabul and I Am Malala are on my to-read list.barley wrote:

Will this be just nonfiction or a mix of fiction/nonfiction?

Hi y'all -
I just stumbled across this blog this morning while avoiding work. It's a nice mix of fashion and also linking to other pieces about work, women's issues, etc. http://www.caphillstyle.com/
Just figured it might be a helpful resource!
Also, for books, I'd lean towards non-fiction: favorite memoirs of lawyers, books about women in the law, etc. Mainly so I could build my reading list up

Tryna stick to only female authors, and female protagonists for the fiction section. I'm not saying these are all created equal, but it's stuff I read that made me think.Hildegard15 wrote:Add in some fiction for me because I definitely haven't read many nonfiction books....
Non-fiction, law ish
My Beloved World
Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights (obviously, not for everyone)
