i want escape.

i watch law and order as a TV getaway from law school. right now, they're sitting around and discussing tarasoff, the torts case about the shrink who didn't tell a girl or her parents when his patient threatened to kill her.

that is not an escape. that was the case ellis grilled me on, made me look like a moron on. thumbs down at you, law and order. there's some reality i can take (i.e., trial examinations that are not objectionable, although that's too much to ask), but there's some reality that's just not cool. case names, especially ones that any old first year law student reads in torts...just not cool.
