Legal Research

I have just started posting a brief description of a few episodes of The Practice excerpted from the tv.com episode guide of the show. For a while, I've been looking at the published blog entry and it seemed a bit noisy with rather long label of the link to the tv.com webpage. Then, I realized that these descriptions merely serve as fillers until I extract and write about the relevant legal information and legal arguments in those episodes.

So, this is just typical research and each journal entry is merely a rough draft of a future literary piece. This means that I only need to provide simple numbered bibliographical links to my sources and be consistent in the citations. Hmm. I wonder how the Chicago Manual of Style and MLA Manual of Style treat online citations.

The following are my sources:
[1] Wikipedia - The Practice
[2] Wikipedia - David Kelly
[3] TV.com Episode Guide - The Practice

Not Just a TV Show

When I first entered law school in 1999, the TV show The Practice was very popular. It was even reaping awards several years in a row. But for my classmates back then, it was just a TV show. They probably watched it, but we rarely discussed it as anything relevant to our studies in criminal law, legal ethics and constitutional law.


It's probably the same today for my classmates especially now that The Practice is off the air. But I should know better. I'm a programmer and I know information. The legal information contained in David Kelly's work is as good as those found in our books. And it's probably superior in terms of learnability because the stories and the medium itself are very engaging.

For now, this is just a prologue of an avid fan of The Practice showering the show with praises. In the near future, this will be an innovative solution to legal education.
