Setting: America, probably a midwest state. Haven't narrowed it down yet, could be in the South even.
When: Now, give or take a few months. In any case, it's contemporary. :>
What I've tried: I've wiki'd Catholic Priests, Catholicism, Catholic Church. I've googled search terms: catholic priest, seminary school, catholic priest personal life (not useful, as you can imagine), and a whole host of variations on personal life (any suggestions for a better phrase?). I've talked to all of my Catholic friends but unfortunately none of them really know about priests on a personal level. I've called a local Catholic church but so far no dice on getting back to me. I've read through the whole religion: christianity: catholicism tag on here, and visited the links in comments (most useful: http://www.fisheaters.com/).
Unfortunately, the information I need is not so much about the priest's involvement in the church itself, although any info you want to give me about that could be useful.
Basically, I need as much info on Catholic priests as you can give. I need information specifically about their personal life; or their offtime, I guess. What do they wear? What are they going to do if they have some hours to themselves? Read, pray, make dinner? Aside from the obvious, what are some restrictions they have? I've got a lot of info on how the priests interact with parishioners in the church, so I'm not really lacking on info as to their professional capacity.
It takes roughly 8 years to become a priest, yes, so a 31 year old priest would be on the young side, but not unheard of?
Let's see, what else. If said priest was an orphan and raised in a Catholic Orphanage, would he have had direct mentoring (religious or otherwise) from the priests/deacons/etc? (Ooh, and while on topic, anyone know anything about Catholic Orphanages?)
How much contact would a priest have with that of a neighboring parish?
Could a smaller sized parish reasonably have just one priest and a few deacons or seminary students?
I know this is a lot of stuff to muddle through, but I wasn't remotely raised Catholic and google hasn't been very helpful so far. ANY info you have on priests would probably be useful in some way or another.
ETA:
Sorry for yet another addition, but I can't find any info on this, either! Eeek. If the priest is the only one at his church, who would he turn to for guidance or counsel? A neighboring priest? Someone who mentored him in seminary school?

So Mandatory Naked Day is coming up, and I know some similar stuff has been done in previous years, but I was thinking of doing a "Badou takes your picture and then tries to sell it" sort of thing. Would anyone be interested? Is someone else doing this already that I'm not aware of (I don't want to step on any toes)? Anyway, if I do it, it'd be completely opt-in and I would clear everything OOCly with everyone who wants to be involved.
Thoughts? Concerns? Do not wants? Partners in crime?

So what I do while I write papers is I watch things, to keep myself from getting distracted by the internet. Which makes sense in my logically twisted way. And what I watched these last few days while I edited my lesbian porn homework was Greek. Which is a very special ABC Family channel show about college kids in frats and sororities, featuring a dorky awkward kid, his mad popular sister, his gay best friend, his conservative Christian roommate, and his unbelievably awesome frat big brother. Among others. Anyway, it's really fun and awesome, and basically everyone there is camper appable. As a side-note.
Mostly, you should watch it. It's up online at the official website.
And I am still not!hiatusing. Because of the aforementioned papers and lesbian porn.

I've Googled "1950s law school curriculum", "1950s law school syllabus", and "1950s law school classes," but haven't found a lot of good info. I have a 19-year-old law student character, circa 1954, and I'm wondering - what would be some important cases for her to study? She's in the US.
She's focused on criminal law, and most of the important cases I'm familiar with take place later than the timeline allows for.
And yes, I know it's highly unusual for a female student to be in law in the time period, but she's not one for tradition. ;)
ETA: Further Googling has brought up this list of important Supreme Court cases, so I'm covered there - what I'm looking for now would be precedents or important cases that didn't make it to the Supreme Court.
edit the second: Even more Googling brought up Hart & Wechsler's Casebook - published in 1953. She would have had access to that, but is there anything similar that is specifically focused on criminal law?
