There is very little to share today. Two short stories are all that the day rendered. I spent most time inside the walls of my Appellate Advocacy class, whereupon I was released for good behavior, and subsequently transferred to the minimum security fortress in my home for a day of studying.
Appellate Advocacy is the class that seems like it will not soon end. Every time we finish one assignment, another is given. It will not stop.
Aside from preparing for oral arguments, which are to take place next Tuesday, we have been entrusted with a legal drafting assignment. We are to negotiate and prepare the terms of a contract. The subject is employment, so I feel relatively sure of myself.
M and I are partners for this exercise, and we are to negotiate with another team. We were arguing about the inclusion of a particular element of an employment agreement. We went back and forth about the item, when finally, M turned to me and said, “How do you know!?”
With a slyness that I have perfected over the years, I responded, “It is either my having worked for an employment agency for a number of years, or my having written employment contracts and such for the company I own. I cannot remember which it is, though. Oh, well.”
At that point we moved on.
As we were in class today, we discussed what would occur during the oral arguments. Annoying Guy, in annoying guy fashion, raised his hand during the explanation. The statement-type-questions and response/interruption from my professor went something like this:
AG – “For the oral arguments: my partner K and I are going against H and M…”
Before he could continue, my professor cut him off.
Professor – “Oh, you are in trouble…”
It was a moment of happiness that shined down upon me.
That was my Friday.
