Busy Bee

I started this year out very busy. I'm in an intensive class that meets every day, all day, for the first two weeks of the year.

So I don't have much time to write about much.

But rest assured, I've got some things percolating.

My class is a trial advocacy class. They bring in judges and lawyers from around the country to instruct the students in small groups. Today, we did a bench trial (which is just a trial with no jury--we'll do one with a jury later).

The judge running my group is an actual federal judge from Florida.

There is something infinitely terrifying about standing up in front of a federal judge to object to some testimony you don't want coming in.

But there's nothing quite like when she sustains your objection.
