Ling's personal philosophy on life reveals much of what she is as a character. "It's a problem being beautiful. It's only the handsome men that ask us out because they're the only ones who think they have a chance. And handsome men are dolts. Life is unfair to us. At some point we have to face the certain reality: despite all the good the world seems to offer, true happiness can only be found in one thing -- shopping." "Sex is a weapon. We all use it. We trade, we tantalize, we withhold it -- something we do in almost every walk of life, be it business, marriage.... God gave us that advantage by giving men the dumbstick."

Ling employment history changed when she compliments twin babies she sees on the street. ("Aren‘t those the 2 most beautiful babies ever...Makes you just want to quit the law to breed"). The children's mother turns out to be the Governor of Massachusetts who offers Ling a job as judge. Ling accepts, and unleashes her rulings on Boston. In one case she finds in favor of a TV Network station boss who offers Ling a "Judge Judy" like show. In between her gig as a judge, Ling found time to pose nude for the cover of Talk magazine. ("It use to be a woman stripped naked to have a chance at greatness, now you have to do great things to have a chance to strip naked").
