Lawyering Up, Week 5: Wed, Period 2 (2/6)

"Entertainment law," Nathan said as he passed that week's handouts around, "focuses on law as it applies to movies, television, music - if it entertains you, there's a lawyer involved somewhere in it. If said lawyer is lucky enough to be with the right performer or studio, there's a nice chunk of change to be made here. If that's the sort of thing you're into."

Nathan leaned against the front of his desk. "Entertainment Law is big news at the moment thanks to a little thing you may have heard of called the WGA strike. This is contract law at its most nitty-gritty, with both sides bringing out their biggest guns to try to get the best agreement.

"That's where you come in," Nathan said. "Pair up. One of you gets to represent the studios. The other the writers. Try to figure out a deal that both of you can live with so the strike can be brought to a close. Who knows? Come up with a good enough idea and maybe we'll send it on to Hollywood. Wouldn't be the first time a bunch of school kids were smarter than the networks."

Annette took key notes and went over the handouts. She was preoccupied in this, yo.

Jack took notes, wondering if he'd ever have to use this stuff.

It probably wasn't going to help negotiations, but Isabel made a small picket sign and stuck it on the end of her pen.

The Studio Heads Are Greedy Bastards!!!

Lana grinned at Isabel. "Damn writers think they deserve everything."

Chris looked for a partner and was grateful for the joys of being a closed canon character!.

As usual, Turtle was taking another moment before actively looking for a partner (or, perhaps, to let a partner actively find her) so that she could help think of both cases, but she was looking at the scenario like she'd just taken too much of the really, really bad tasting cough syrup her mother always made her take. Writers. She knew writers. Well, she knew two, but Charlie was awesome. Theo, on the other hand...

"Hey, Turtle," Ronan said, smiling a bit. "Still looking for a partner, then?"

Eve sat there, still half dead just like her mun, woe but tired of not being in class. She managed to look attentive, though. Because scaring off prospective partners would be bad.

Jack stuck a blank sign on the end of a stick.

Serious Writer's Strike.

Annette decided to share another lawyer joke and really hoped that Professor Petrelli didn't take offense. It was a really cute one, she thought!

"Two alligators are sitting on the edge of a swamp.

The small one turns to the big one and says; "I don't understand how you can be so much bigger than me. We're the same age, we were the same size as kids... I just don't get it."

"Well," says the big alligator, "what have you been eating?"

"Lawyers, same as you," replies the small alligator.

"Hm. Well, where do you catch'em?"

"Down at that law firm on the edge of the swamp."

"Same here. Hm. How do you catch'em?"

"Well, I crawl under a BMW and wait for someone to unlock the door. Then I jump out, bite'em, shake the be’jesus out of 'em, and eat'em!"

"Ah!" says the big alligator, "I think I see your problem. See, by the time you get done shakin' the be’jesus out of a lawyer, there's nothing' left but lips and a briefcase...""

Annette couldn't help but grin when she told it.

I will gladly trade your family members for mine. They don't watch reality shows at all! Of course, that's because if the TV is on, it's tuned to Fox News...

Here, you can come live with my family. All we watch is the Discovery Channel for Bear Grylls and Mike Rowe. And my mom has this weird fascination with Jamie from Mythbusters and his beret.

My family is into: HGTV (Mom), History Channel & Sports (little bro), Horse Racing (stepdad) and E!, VH1 & LOGO (little sis). I don't think any of them particularly care about the strike.

My mother has offered to come down to LA herself because there's only so much Food Network and What Not to Wear one person can watch. Other family members haven't even noticed there is a strike. I fear.

My mom's sort of like, "OMGWTF NO NEW CSI?" Which is to say, she's less than thrilled.

My dad, meanwhile, only watches sitcoms and westerns that have been off the air for at least thirty years and game shows. Many of which have also been off the air for thirty years.
