Attorney Where the Crawdads Sing, an exciting new Netflix drama that follows an abandoned girl surviving in North Carolina marshes. Based on Delia Owens’ best-selling book, this film promises to keep viewers riveted from beginning to end.
Daisy Edgar-Jones stars as Kya, an orphan raised in North Carolina marshes and becoming a naturalist. Owens provided valuable knowledge in ethology – the study of animal behavior.
Philip Bogdonoff
Philip Bogdonoff is a nationally-recognized continuing legal education speaker and former assistant prosecutor. Throughout his career, he worked closely with police forces in making charging decisions following long-term investigations. Furthermore, he argued several cases before Ohio Ninth District Court of Appeals as well as twenty-five before Ohio Supreme Court, including six death penalty cases.
As opposed to its TV show counterpart, Where the Crawdads Sing failed to capture the spirit of its source material in its movie adaptation; instead it focused on love triangles and cliche courtroom drama tropes instead.
Sometimes movies can surprise us in unexpected ways: with sunny outlooks and happy endings; or else they take us on unexpected dark rides that contain unnerving themes and undercurrents. Where the Crawdads Sing falls under this latter category despite Daisy Edgar-Jones’ stunning performance as Owens draws upon her knowledge of ethology to incorporate animal behavior into the plot, further adding layers to its appeal.
Continuing legal education
Continuing legal education (CLE) is an integral component of professional careers across many different industries. Required by many jurisdictions and one of the key ways that attorneys maintain their skills, professionalism, and ethics – CUNY Law offers a number of CLE opportunities for its students and alumni, such as its annual January/June CLE Program as well as online CLE courses available 24/7 and destination CLEs held around the world.
Attorneys can earn continuing legal education (CLE) credits through classroom training, online courses and activities such as writing articles or instructing a course. Bar associations, national legal organizations and private enterprises often offer these CLEs.
Television series
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens has been made into a film featuring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Taylor John Smith, Garret Dillahunt, Ahna O’Reilly and Michael Hyatt starring as Daisy Edgar-Jones, Taylor John Smith, Garret Dillahunt Ahna O’Reilly and Michael Hyatt and earned over $140 Million worldwide against its $24 Million budget – becoming an unexpected hit with audiences while serving up coming-of-age tales combined with nature writing, murder mystery.
Owens’s background as a naturalist is evident in her use of ethology – or animal behavior study – in this story, which serves to demonstrate how similar human and animal behaviors can be.
The film takes place in Barkley Cove, North Carolina and follows Kya, an abandoned girl raised by marshelands as an amateur naturalist. When her hometown quarterback dies suddenly and mysteriously, Kya becomes a prime suspect and eventually stands trial for his murder – both timelines eventually coming together into one narrative.
