Sideshow Law School


According to a Newsday.com article (http://www.newsday.com/news/local/newyork/am-eak0831,0,3991871.story?track=rss), Eduardo Arrocha, aka Eak the Geek, a popular Coney Island entertainer, has decided to trade in his bed of nails for a new type of perceived torture: law school. Eduardo said that he wants to be a "freak lawyer." He hopes to work with "alternative people ... all the so-called riff-raff, to give them legal representation that is not judgmental."

I went to law school for a similar reason. As an artist myself, I become a lawyer to help others like me. I think this is a wonderful reason to go to law school. Good luck Eduardo. I’m sorry you have to wear a tie.
