Representin'

Finally! I represented a client in court yesterday! And while that sounds neat, and it definitely was, it wasn't very exciting for anyone but me. I said very little, did very little, in fact, but it was still cool. It was an agreed guilty plea (which I helped negotiate), which means I basically just had to say “yes, your honor” and “there's also the matter of the capias, your honor,” and “thank you, your honor.” Big deal, right? But hey, we all have to start somewhere.

I haven't said much more about the summer job for lots of reasons. One is that the Scoplaw has been providing a few good updates about the place we both work, e.g.: here, here, and here. No need for us to duplicate stories (although he's getting more than I am this summer in the story department, I think). But there's also the whole dooce thing, which is all too possible in a public defender internship. Check this out. Yeah, I think I'll stay with the minimal disclosure, thanks. What I wouldn't give to see that blog, though...
