the law firm

don't get me wrong. im still your regular inarteng bum. =D
i just happened to watch, luckily at that (kasi di ako nakapanood last tuesday), the finale episode of
The Law Firm. it is a reality show wherein great US lawyer Roy Black picks the best from among twelve lawyers. this is how the show was described by tv.yahoo.com:

PREMIERE DATE:July 2005

SHOW DESCRIPTION:"The Law Firm," from Emmy Award-winning producer David E. Kelley, features real lawyers competing against each other while trying real court cases with real clients -- in front of real judges and juries, resulting in outcomes that are final, legal and binding for the parties. Premier trial attorney and legal analyst Roy Black is the managing partner of "The Law Firm"; as such, Black will decide which of the twelve "legal eagles" will be eliminated in each episode. Smart, strong-willed and fiercely competitive, the attorneys work together in different teams each week, battling tight deadlines, intense pressure and even each other as they strategize and prepare and try their cases. The compelling cases range from First Amendment issues to neighbor disputes to wrongful death. Distinguished judges will decide some of the cases, while a jury determines the others. In the end, the top attorney will win a prize of $250,000.

BRIEF HISTORY:David E. Kelley, David Garfinkle, Jay Renfroe, Jonathan Pontell and Robert Breech are the executive producers. NBC yanked "The Law Firm" on Aug. 9 2005, following just two weeks on the air in which it averaged a meager 4.5 million viewers, but sister network but Bravo found a place on its schedule for the reality series.

from the very start, my bet has been Olivier Taillieu. he is sooo gwapo,
his eyes will really enchant you... hay. =) he has his own style in fighting for the cause of the litigant to which his group was assigned. suwabe. cool. so whenever he does not get "dismissed" each episode, i feel so heavenly happy talaga. unfortunately though, he did not bag the "first place." michael cavalluzzi did, my least liked and most hated lawyer amongst twelve of them. ang angas ng dating nya, as far as i am concerned ha. yeah he could be really witty at times, but real nasty, even to his groupmates.
he yells, he "bites" the others. sobrang competitive in an unhealthy sort of way.


the others are as good lawyers also. although some do not impress me that much. say regina for example, for me, she is the female counterpart of michael. annoying. ang bossy na kia (a.k.a. know-it-all). both olivier and i do not like her (hahaha! feeling close!). there are those whom i did not even notice, like elizabeth, jason and anika. although medyo striking si anika kasi she was the first one who was dismissed, or was it the asian lass kelly chang? basta yun. chris is also a-okay. strong contender. crim law ata field nya talaga. then there's barrett na parang laging windang. i also like keith, handsome din eh, but only next to olivier ha. he is also magaling and i think he and olivier make a really good tandem. then there is deep and aileen. these two complete the top four. but the first one to be eliminated among the four of them was deep. he made a really huge mistake according to roy black daw when he missed something with the direct exam ata. aileen became olivier's ka-loveteam. hmpf! i think though that she is overrated. perhaps para lang din ma-entice the female viewers and convince them na gender discrimination does not exist. dapat sila chris and keith ang kasama sa top 4 nila olivier and michael.

michael won the $250,000.00. i was not able to watch what the case was all about but i think it was, based from the evaluation made by roy black after the decision was handed, that it was michael who won. he never lost a case pa talaga, except one. olivier lost all the cases he handled. that's how brilliant he is, kahit talo sa case, roy black still found him magnificent.

sa 'pinas kaya wala nito? sino kasali? rene saguisag? kiko pangilinan? ed angara? bonifacio alentajan? billy balbastro? atty aga? raymond fortun? jpe? miriam defensor-santiago? hmmm... interesting. parang pbb na. =)

p.s. sana magiging boss ko mala-olivier. kahit di na ako umuwi ng bahay and forever sa office na lang! and please, no michaels, or worse, reginas.
