Clinic Rant

A series of letters:

Dear Opposing Counsel,

It's great you want to depose my client again. Really I have nothing better to do with my time than drive 2 hours to the prison, deal with security, and then sit there while you ask questions. Really nothing better to do. Also no worries that you scheduled it during my Thanksgiving Break. I didn't want to see my family anyway.

Petition

Dear Opposing Counsel,

Remember how my client is in prison? Yeah turns out if you want to depose someone in prison you HAVE TO TELL THE PRISON IN ADVANCE. You can thank me later for calling to confirm everything was good to go with YOUR deposition.

Dear Opposing Counsel,

That's great that you were able to reschedule the deposition. It's very convenient to try and get plane tickets less than a week before the break. Plane tickets don't get insanely expensive if you wait a long time to purchase them. You are lucky I found some otherwise I was going to join you and your family for Thanksgiving dinner. Also thank you for changing the date to the middle of finals. Nothing helps studying like long drives and intrusive prison security.

Sincerely,

Petition

I'm still alive

Holy shit I overcommitted myself this semester. So insanely busy with clinic and moot court and being a TA that I don't have time to blog. I enjoy most of my clinic work, but I'm constantly busy. I don't have class Monday or Tuesday yet I'm in the law building everyday all day.

PD Office where I worked this summer is laying 3 to 4 attorneys off. The job market as a 3L right now is terrifying. Just pretending that I don't need a job and everything will be ok.

I went to 7 years of school so I could live with parents. sigh, beats digging ditches.
