Boo. Today sucked. I'm ready for it to be over. I think tomorrow will be the last day.


I'm back at the office about to work for a few more hours (good excuse for vaca now!!). I'm waiting for a co-worker so I had to check ST. <-- this should be a feeble smile but I'm not sure of the appropriate icon.


Wish me luck for tomorrow!

good luck for tomorrow!


i missed this originally, but i'm glad to hear that you're making it through, even if it isn't going all as well as you'd like.  everyone has to have a first time, and i'm sure you're rocking it better than most.  and even if you aren't, i'm sure you look better doing it!

We won!!! I got to give part of the closing argument and question half of the witnesses - it was pretty awesome.

I was the prosecution in this case and it was extremely gratifying to see all the victims in the seats, listening to the sentence (some crying, some practically cheering). And, without going into too many details b/c they're boring, we were in an extremely tough jurisdiction for convictions, much less significant punishment (which we got), and the type of case we were trying was more complicated than most criminal trials. So it was a pretty excellent victory all around.

Thanks for y'all's support. I hope I never have to try a case with that particular co-worker again but all in all it was a good experience. Now I'm off to sleep for the next 48 hours.

Good for you!  Now your first trial is out of the way and if you ever have to do it again, you won't have that first-time nervous feeling.


Congratulations on winning!  I hope you have a relaxing weekend!

Yay!!!! Glad you made it through - in style! Good luck for the rest of your trial! And that advice sounds like the kind of advice they give when you're doing totally fine and there's nothing to tell you to do... Yay Bluebirde!!!!

Thanks for everyone's congrats! I'm still not sure what to think about everything just yet. The whole thing seems so complicated. I was so sure I was going to lose that I don't think it's sunk in yet...

And without going into the details (I just wrote them all out and decided to delete them - I'm not sure if they're appropriate for posting for all the world to see), I had a hard time looking at the Defendant knowing my goal was to put him in jail for a significant period of time (probably the rest of his life). But talking with all the victims and knowing that the jury knew even less about the case than I did and they still did what they did helped lessen my moral load.

Man. I thought not taking a big firm job and working for "the people" was the end of my ethical dilemmas in the big, bad world of law. I was seriously naive.

So anyway, thanks for the kind words - they're appreciated.
