Just to clarify, as a member of BLS Law Review, she is NOT a staff member of ANY journal at our school.

BLS3L: But I'll bet you'd sell a lot more copies of the BLR if she was!

I would buy Brooklyn Law Review if it had a centerfold

I'm so glad she could bring such wonderful press to our school. Really, we should be thanking her.

I'm sure my employer is going LOVE that I attend class with people with such high standards...

I've seen the photos and some of the video...I don't know why she thought SHE should be posing!

This makes Brooklyn look like a freakin' joke of a law school.

can some post uncensored pix or vid plskthxbye

1136 - you go to 'dozo don't you

Butterface.

Some people would be better off keeping their clothes on.

She's probably not going to get a job now, and if she does, doesn't sound like she will last long anyway before she gets bored and/or realizes that it isn't for her ("see e.g. - the "lawyers are so boring" comment)

So, with that in mind, I would say the most prudent career move for her at this point would be to get some implants. Then, a nose job. but, definately implants first.

Is she going to graduate CUM laude?

I love it! Above the Law: fewer polls, more porn.

12:08 - she likely doesn't want a legal job. in fact, her career path shows the versatility of a law degree.

"This makes Brooklyn look like a freakin' joke of a law school. "

Nah - her formative years were at Penn. That's how I see it.

Sincerely, BLS '03.

Wait, she went from Penn to Brooklyn Law School?

She evidently made other mistakes before this video...

Penn '05

12:42: Totally! Going to Penn undergrad is a terrible mistake. Who would want to go there?

word around school is that she had a govt law job and it has been withdrawn(this video/pics have been going around school for a month now...it just only hit the press today)

If so, that's wrong. This has no bearing on her as a lawyer. (There's a long discussion over at WSJ Law Blog about this.)

Her decision to pose nude reflects on her judgment, and her judgment certainly has bearing on what kind of lawyer she would be.

115 I agree. The Character and fitness portion of the bar should have to do with ethical character, not morals. She is not unethical b/c she showed her twat. While that behavior may be repugnant to some people's moral beliefs, it should have no bearing on one's ability to practice law.

Actually, I question her judgment based on what she said in the Daily News article - she is so surprised that it got attention and surprised that it got leaked on to the intarweb.

Are we living in the times of The Scarlet Letter? Why can't a woman be a talented lawyer, with excellent judgment, AND pose nude if she wants to?

Whether there are nude pictures or videos of her on the internet is irrelevant to her legal work. Why can't women be judged based on our work, completely independent of what we do outside of work?

It's no different than casting aspersions on a working mother. If I get my work done, and done well, whether I have kids at home is irrelevant. None of my employer's business.

Same thing here. If Adriana is a good law student or lawyer, who cares whether she also has a nice body that she likes to share with the world?

1:18: Thanks, Monica Goodling. Now get back to firing U.S. Attorneys please.

131- f'ing hysterical

1:25, 1:28 - you are completely right of course. has no bearing whatsoever on her abilities as a lawyer. If the best lawyer in the country posed nude, would he or she suddenly stop getting work? Of course not. Because people would want the best lawyer, period. Represent me well and I don't care if you go home and dress like a baby, sleep with 40 people a night, whatever. who cares. except, of course, offensive moralists who confuse morals with ethics and are out to intrude on everyone else's personal business.

Oh and remember, there are clients who will hire Nazi-representing cretin assh@les to do their work -- compared to some of that, nudity isnt even worth mentioning in the discussion of inappropriate behavior.

Gallion OUT!

1:28 - Are you serious? This chick is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Plus, imagine trying to woo potential clients with her trolling around the firm. "And this is Adriana, a member of our corporate group. You might remember her from her recent bukake films. She was the girl reading a West's Publishing book while 12 men ejaculated on her face. Now, let's get down to brass tacks on your case."

1:47 - most clients don't knwo the name or even the existence of some lower level troll who works on their case and THEY DO NOT CARE. As long as their work gets done right, they don't give a rat's ass. Another poster who obviously has never worked a day at a firm.

And I'm curious what lawsuit is waiting to happen? Since what she did was legal and predated her employment, there is, of course, no possible "lawsuit". You, sir, are a moron.

Gallion OUT!

what about Jonas Blank?? He talked about how he did nothing all day in a group email (which most clients would be inclined to believe that he is supposed to be billing for that time of doing nothing so the bills are more than likely padded) yet he still got a job offer and passed the character portion of the bar.

...she did nothing illegal...just something you don't think is moral.

also, she was going to work for a govt agency. You don't have to appeal to clients.

One more thing, what lawsuit would be waiting to happen? what did she do that could get the firm/agency sued?

People have committed manslaughter and still been approved by the character and fitness committee of the NY Bar. Blank is a good comparison -- that was something arguably work related. This has nothign whatsoever to do with work. What gets me is these moralists who love to take down a woman (they are almost always men almost always taking down a woman via great misgynistic undertones) areusually trolls themselves and have personallives that if exposed on some way or another would embarass them more than this meaningless nonsense.

Nothing whatsover about this posing reflects in any way on this womans ETHICS. If you don't get that, you dont understand the difference between morals and ethics. Ethics are relevant. Morals you can keep to your f-ing self.

Gallion OUT!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This blog continues to bore & disappoint.

Where can we find the video?

I'd hit it. No doubt about it.

Yea Brooklyn!!! First Geraldo, now this...

This should have no bearing on the C&F portion of the bar - while it might have been questionable judgment, it has no relation to her morality. I know people that have done far worse and been admitted to the NY bar.

Gallion: The "lawsuit waiting to happen" doesn't stem from what she did, but who she is. If you're too stupid to see that hiring her will be a HUGE risk and liability then your employer is getting ass raped every time you get paid.
Try to use some common sense. Obviously, you are yet another poster that has been living with your head up your ass - you smug prick.

you suck lat. as has been pointed out, clips of her vid have been going around for a long time and you don't pick it up until there's a story in the NYDN. what kind of gossip blogger are you?

1:47, you are so wrong, but HILARIOUS.

1:58, you are getting annoying. Stop coming here if you don't like it. You've been complaining for long enough. Find a blog you actually like, instead of being a lame-ass heckler from the sidelines.

She'll still get hired before me . . . and all I did was an instructional video on nursing cats.

The bottom line is that even though it SHOULDN"T have any bearing on her career, it will. Being an attorney means being a trusted advisor. Would you trust someone like this with a serious legal matter? I wouldn't and I suspect that several others wouldn't either.

This is not to say that this behavior shows that she can't do the work. She objectively may have the intellect to complete legal work.

What this behavior does show is that she may have difficulty creating the aura of confidence that lawyers need to have to gain the respect of other lawyers and clients.

1:47 is so RIGHT and HILARIOUS. I work at biglaw and most people I know typically look up the lawyers on the other side of the deal/case, at least on the other firm's website. Let's say I am working on a deal with her firm, and see her name on the deal contact list or some other correspondence. I see that she went to BLS so I ask the associate down the hall who went to BLS and graduated in her class if he had ever heard of her. He/she tells me all about this video stuff, and one key-stroke in google finds her video. I forward it to my client, then they tell the client on the other side of the deal who suffers some embarassment from my client laughing at them. Then that client awkwardly calls up the partner at Adirana's firm and tells them that they are being laughed at by the people they are trying to do business with because they are represented by a porn star. That client then begins to question the judgment of both Adriana, who is in the trenches doing their "dirty" work which may or may not be closely reviewed by the partner, and the partner who hired this girl in the first place, knowing what the whole world already knows about her. Also, let's also remember that there are many cases to show that there are tons of people in corporate america who will publicly exhibit the maturity of a 12 year old when it comes to all things related to sex, so maybe the client even decides to call up Adriana and harass her about the video. Maybe that's one place where the "lawsuit waiting to happen" could come from.

Gallion - do you work at a firm? Do you have any contact with other lawyers outside of your firm?

Oh come on, she goes to brooklyn, it's not like she was going to have a career anyways

Exactly 2:58. WSJ, ATL and NYDailyNews completely missed the issue here.

She's someone who wrecked her life by attending a tier 2 law school. Her Penn degree was worth more than her BLS degree. If she wants to cope with tier 2 misery by doing porn then that's her decision. Leave her alone.

We all need to deal with the shocking fraud that is the tier 2 law school. I cope by posting on blogs. She copes in a more self destructive way. The point is you're not going to solve the problem until you get at its root. She would have never done this had she gone to a good law school. One where she had a bright future. BLS tier 2 massive debt / low paying job misery likely drove her to this.

One word: Judgment.

3:08; hilarious. if only someone had told us before we spent that cash that the only purpose that tier 2 schools serve is to permit "A" student former Ivy leaguers who can't do teach.........

What percentage of lawyers do you suppose look at porn? Or go to strip clubs? From a purely moral perspective, how is being on the consuming end of pornography any different from being on the production end--other than the fact that the producers aren't generally from the same socioeconomic class as the consumers? Strikes me that this woman is the victim of a double standard...

Thanks 3:34 - My thoughts exactly.

3:38 - Do you really not see the difference between watching a porn and being in one? If you don't, please hit yourself in the head with a brick, because you are a moron.

Although Brooklyn can land you a BigLaw job w/ a little effort and some decent grades, lets just the subject of this post doesn't have to worry about this playboy thing getting in the way. That ship sailed long ago.

2:40 - I've worked at a top 5 firm for 5 years. 95% of people I work with don't give a flying crap who the drone associates on the other side of a deal/case are and 99% of clients don't care (or even know in most cases) about anyone below partner level. A partner could have five strippers turned lawyers working for them and no one would give a damn as long as they were willing to work obscene hours, sacrifice their entire lives to pad someone else's wallet, and put up with abhorrent working conditions and treatment by superiors.

And, by the way, I know about 500 law firms that would hire this woman. If you think otherwise, you're an idiot.

Gallion OUT

Once again, Gallion is the authority. I guess Lat and every other person is way off base. In case you didn't know, unlike most other people in college, Gallion didn't pick one subject, he majored in the World. All subjects, all knowing.

Loyola 2L - get a job at Gallions firm. They'll hire anything with a pulse.

Gallion: You know 500 firms that would hire her, eh? Okay, so go get her a job. Put your money where her mouth is.

Even assuming she's top 10%, my firm wouldn't touch her. Hell, she couldn't get hired as a receptionist at a decent firm.

Gallion - Just as I thought, you are the drone who cleans the toilets at your firm, so my hypothetical doesn't apply to you, only to the people who actually interact with real live people as part of their job. You're right - sounds like a perfect job for Adriana.

Trust me, your clients and the people above your level at your firm (e.g. those who have actually earned the right to take some time to have a personality), might actually be amused by this. Also, on a related note - just a pointer, having a personality is good for client development.

2:40, don't be silly, anyone who has worked as an associate at a top 5 firm for 5 years obviously does not have a "personality"

Gallion et al.,

The issue is not morals, but it is about judgment in the face of the current norms of society.

If I dressed up like a baby in a diaper, danced around in front of a camera, googoo-ing and gaagaa-ing, and then published this to the world, I'd probably run into some people who would not want to hire me as an attorney... I did nothing wrong, nothing unethical, nothing immoral, but it still reflects poor judgment on my part. The current norms of society are such that dressing up like a baby in front of the camera is not a respectable thing to do, and it reflects badly on my professional career, even though my costume has *nothing* to do with my legal abilities. I would have acted in bad judgment, because my costume would have hurt my professional standing.

Similarly, doing porn is not a respectable, professional thing to do, based on the current norms of society. (Doing porn is considered worse than only watching porn.) As such, it is bad judgment to do porn because it reflects badly on one's professional standing. Say what you will about the current norms of society (that they're repressive or antiquated or whatever), but they are still the current norms of society. That's just the way things are, and it has nothing to do with my personal morals.

Lat - this is just tacky. From the title to the picture. I really expected a little more from this site.

yes, poor judgement such as posing naked like this girl will cause for some retribution...leading to some form of loss of employment or becoming unemployable....

However, that does not mean she should not be admitted to the bar. Being admitted to the bar and being employed as a practicing attorney are two different things. That was the point of the moral vs. ethics discussion. The bar should be looking into whether or not a person is of good ethical character, not moral. So, while you may not want to hire her, that is just fine. But, I don't know why you would support stopping her for making a bad decision which in no way is a reflection on her ethical values.

"cum porn star" heh

5:37: the title of this website contains the words "legal tabloid". Have you ever read a tabloid? This entry is more in line with the mission of this site than most entries.

Anyone have her email address? I need a girlfriend.

DUDE I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH HER!!!!! WOW SHE LOOKS NASTY!

Her behavior reflects upon her personality. She'll get a job due to celebrity status, if nothing else.

However, each time a member of the school lashes out at her, reflects extreamly poorly on the school.

How can you expect them to maintain and serve the law if they waste time yelling about her? They are just more of the same. People trying to use the law to make them rich.

No wonder public respect for law has declined.

" . . . and all I did was an instructional video on nursing cats."

lol!

Not a bad way to get a job. Ever try the BLS career center?

Anybody who thinks she should not/could not be an excellent lawyer because of this is an absolute fool. Check your history a bit newbies, and then go ask Judge Kimba Wood (NYC) if this should be an issue. She has done just fine after appearing in Playboy.
Besides, I would rather have a smart, hot lawyer who did some nude stuff, than one who overbills, and totally skirts the law, like more than half of you will do one day, be my lawyer anyday. Good for her you doles...go out and live a little, because once you are a working stiff in the real world and making photocopies your first year (no glamour in the first two years, regardless of the firm), you are going to hate being a lawyer a lot of the time, and you will regret the things you DID NOT do when you had time.

Get over it people. Americans are so f'in hung up on nudity. Big deal. I'm a woman and lawyer at a top firm. My guess is no lawyer would ever have the guts to say anything to her face, so why act like you'd treat her any differently now.

Butterface? More like butter-everything. Are those breasts, or mosquito bites?

Lawyers are people, too, right? Who gives a rat's ass if this gal wants to pose nude or memorize the UCC from front to back. Let it all hang out, babe!

12:47: Judge Wood didn't pose in Playboy. She was just a "bunny" in the London Playboy Club.
