For the second time in two weeks

And possibly the last for the next decade, I went to court. And I won. Opposing counsel was like Matlock on crack; kinda nuts. I think the best part was when he admitted he wasn't entitled to what amounted to injunctive relief, but then proceeded to orally move for summary judgment, without calling it summary judgment. Granted, I'm pretty sure a chimp could have won the hearing, but still. And I get the odd feeling that one of the senior associates at work is basically telling me to run away. Especially if I like the courtroom stuff. You know, because we don't do that. When people ask me what kind of litigation I do, I've taken to telling them that I have a vibrant motions practice. Man, I miss law school.

Congratulations. I'm terrified of oral argument, what with my Costanza-like quickness of wit and logic.

I could use a victory of any sort at work. Going back to your earlier post, I'm getting tired of feeling stupid. In all honesty, I don't feel that much more prepared or comfortable than I did as a summer. Oh well.
