A Mini-Trend: Law Students in the Nude?

Oona O'connell law student Above the Law blog.jpgWe’ve told you all about Adrienne, the Boston College law student who did a sexy swimsuit spread for a magazine. And we’ve been all over (hehe) Adriana, the Brooklyn Law School 3L who romped naked before the camera for Playboy TV.

But let’s set the record straight. The phenomenon of law students taking it off for the camera is nothing new.

Well before Adrienne and Adriana, there was Oona O’Connell. From a tipster:

“A first year associate at my firm told me about this… He went to U. Miami and knew a fellow law student who posed for Playboy.”

“Apparently, her name is Oona O’Connell (which could be either the name of her first pet or the street she lived on as a kid, if my porn-name generator is correct). She is a 3L at the University of Miami Law School, and she’s also a Hawaiian Tropic model. Apparently she was in the May 2006 issue of Playboy, and she may shoot a ‘feature’ for an upcoming issue.”

“The only female nudity at MY law school took place when the student ACLU girls went topless to protest a local nudity ordinance. They were not airbrushed. OY.”

More about this comely young law student, including links to her Playboy pics, after the jump.

Our source included a link to what appears to be an Oona O’Connell fan website [potentially NSFW (“not safe for work”), no nudity, but lots of exposed flesh]. That site offers this mini-bio (all spelling and grammatical errors in the original):

Oona O’Connell is a 23 years old and a student at the University of Miami school of law. She has just started modeling. Shooting for Model of the Month was her first Professional shoot. Soon after was lucky to win first place in the South Florida State finals for Miss Hawaiian Tropic. To which it won her a trip to Hawaii to compet in the USA Finals. Oona O’Connell place in top 20 in that event. It’s no surprise to me, she looks great in a bikini. Oona O’Connell is a pianist and private piano teacher as well. She loves traveling, and can speak French and Spanish.

Oona also loves all kinds of physical activity, such as dancing, working out, sports, and especially jogging with her dog Monty in the morning’s.

Oona O’Connell “loves all kinds of physical activity.” Color us surprised.

Our tipster also sent us a link to one of Oona’s Playboy photos. Obviously it is NSFW. If you’re not at work, in class, or in any other place where viewing nude photos would be inappropriate, click here, to conduct an “in camera” examination of Ms. O’Connell. Enjoy.

Update: The link was changed after we originally posted it. We think we have fixed the problem. Clicking on the link should now take you to a “popup” image of Oona O’Connell.

What's the marginal scale of hotness v. no serious work repercussions, if there is one?

There has to be a tipping point, such that if you are sufficiently attractive, your poor decision making with respect to the timing of disrobing will not be a holdback to your career.

What the hell did you just link us to? Your "in camera" link goes to a porn site, and if there's a picture of Oola hidden among the others it's not apparent.

I think that link was changed. Refresh your browser. I was taken to a topless picture of Oona sitting on a surfboard.

Yeah, but that still doesn't top the Cravath associate who was in Girls of the Ivy League. Maybe she was only wearing white shoes...

11:17, i think that ratio is important, but equally as important is how they comport themselves afterwards. Taking a completely defensive tack and hiring a lawyer would not seem to be the best option.

there was a Stanford law student who appeared in Playboy several years ago. Her mother had been a playmate so I guess it runs in her family. I think she was also in the same class (2000?) as Brazil -- the expensive "fitness model-escort." Not bad for a class of 150 students.

Any question that U of Miami is really the coolest law school in the land? The hottest girls, south beach, 70 degree weather and a pretty much guarenteed job in a vibrant urban legal market? UVA and Columbia can continue to delude themselves.

And if she wins the Hawaiian Tropic pageant, she can won't have to work as a lawyer, because she'll have the awesome job of waiting tables in her bikini at the super-Hooters across the street from Lehman Brothers headquarters:

Yes, those pageants are basically just a system for recruiting employees for the restaurant.

at least she is pretty, but I still would not hire her as my attorney. Not that I am opposed to naked women, I love them, just that posing naked for money does not scream "responsible enough to hold my money in her hands." I gotta wonder why someone with no qualms about getting paid to take her clothes off would want to be a lawyer in the first place...if anyone were willing to see my scholng for a dollar I'd be outta law school in a heartbeat.

11:47, agreed, generally.

Would you agree though, at some point of hotness--albeit Heidi Klum-esque (who qualifies IMO for this exercise)--it simply would not matter what the law student did (assuming there was no Van Nuys style action)?

Finally - an attractive girl in these pages! From that awful Brooklyn law playboy girl to the uglies in the wedding watch (see that Latham gal from yesterday), this site really is a beating on the eyes. Until now.

In case you were wondering, Victoria Zdrok (see the 12:47 post), according to the New York State Unified Court System website, was admitted in NY in 1999 (though her current registration status is listed as delinquent).

Sweet and multi talented people are always a problem for the insecure and unhappy ones.

But hey!!! this is another example of what the wrong humans are doing in the Law school; mind your buisness, focus, be productive, constructive, a bit of good will is nessesary in life, being jaded is oviously not a good way to start a carrer, but i guess a corrupted future will come after this for the ones who are so dumb to spend their energy in writing negative coments about someone you don't probably even know... God bless you all.

She's hot and smart (safe assumption since she is a UM Law grad), and at the end of the day that is what is making all of you haters hate. So, to all the law geeks (males) who hate her because she is out of your league, and all of the fat ugly (female) law school whales that hate her because she is better looking AND smarter than you . . . . GET OVER IT AND STOP HATING!!!

Oona was actually in one of my classes at UM law, but she was hardly ever there. Instead, she preferred to spend her time cruising around with her Ferrari-driving boyfriend (now her husband). Some guys have all the luck...

Victoria Zdrok, she has a Ph.D as well as a JD from Villanova School of Law, and she didn't just pose nude, she was a full-blown porn star.
