How many people can say they've argued in the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals? A few thousand, probably, and now I'm one of them. Of course, my arguments were only for practice and not before real judges, but hey, details schmeetails. The "judges" hated my arguments, by the way; "they're just too subtle," they said. That was pretty dispiriting but turned out well in the long run because it forced me to refine them and find better ways of explaining them for the Moot Court competition that followed a couple of days later. Six out of nine judges in that competition really seemed to like my arguments, so the odds were in my favor.
