"Perhaps the fact the defendant had to be dragged out of the courtroom while declaring 'Death to you all, a Jihad on the court' may have had something to do with the revocation of his bond. That or calling the judge a bald-headed cock-sucker. Either way."

My paralegal texted me last night to let me know that she had already spoken to opposing counsel and our witness and rescheduled today's deposition because of the impending weather.

my secretary thinks "Please overnight this" means "put this in an envelope and then give it back to me so I can go to the post office."

Though I guess that means I get to leave early. Because post office.

Posted this a couple weeks back and got no response. Giving it one more shot.

Two admissions questions, speculation welcome:

1) Do schools only care about LSDAS cumulative GPA? I.e. degree and graduate GPA mean pretty much zip (though I've seen that Colorado, Vermont, and Seattle use degree GPA for their admission index).

2) Is a documented Canadian aboriginal applicant considered URM by any US schools? I've done grad school applications several times and never seen this as an available ethnicity until now.

Edit: Not asking for a friend. I've got a 3.0 cumulative GPA (I hosed around a lot prior to 2005), 3.9 degree GPA, 4.0 grad GPA, and I'm First Nation.

Yes, because undergrad is what's reported.

Yes, you're a urm. Find the box on the applications that best represents your status (usa, so I'm sure it won't say first nations) and click away.

Don't go, etc.

Funnily enough, 9 out of the 13 apps I submitted (all US schools) had "Canadian Aboriginal/First Nation" as a distinct category from "Native American", which is what prompted my curiosity. The LSAC tracks it as its own group, too. Note the whopping 21 Canadian Aboriginal applicants this season: http://spiveyconsulting.com/blog/2014-2015-application-and-applicant-data/

Edit, a few examples: Columbia, Duke, and UCLA don't make a distinction between Native American and Aboriginal Canadian. Georgetown, Northwestern, Emory, George Washington, and Notre Dame do. Not going to mention the *ahem* lesser schools where I applied.

Looking for a way to get some quick drama in your life? Try getting involved in high school mock trial.

Today a real argument was made that spectators (not competitors) need to divide themselves bride-side or groom-side in court depending on which team they are affiliated with. An objection (whining) was lodged with the tournament director, and when that was turned down she was told "so you're changing the rules" (nothing in the rules requires this) and "this sets a bad precedent."

You probably guessed the twist. This argument was not pursued by an overachieving high schooler but by the team's attorney coach.

Oh yes. I had a coach livid because I told a student "ok. I'm going to sustain that objection, but not for the reason you said. Instead I find it's inadmissible because..."

Also had a coach insist that the other coach was giving secret signals to his team.

Though my fave moment was having to pull a coach aside to tell her she needed to ask her team to either wear longer skirts or sit with their legs closed.

see, that would require him agreeing to anything, and when "here is a check, just go deposit it and stop bothering us" doesn't work I can't see getting his agreement on anything harder

maybe if we offered it to him in gold coins, but that's harder than the motion :v:

I sympathize.

Have an argument next week where we flat out offered to give him the relief he wanted: opportunity to go to sentence review (which he's not going to get through his appeal because of procedural hurdles, but no one in my office cares if we just give it to him because all he wants is the opportunity to go to sentence review and my attitude towards that is "meh. it's not like they're going to change his sentence anyway, so what's the harm in letting him go to the hearing?") Made clear, however, that offer was off the table if he made me waste my time writing a brief.

Got a letter from his attorney (nice guy) basically reading "Dear Statewide Grievance Committee Attorney Actus Rhesus, I am writing to ensure I have documented proof that I relayed your obviously favorable offer of disposition to my client in advance of the inevitable grievance/IAC claim inform you that my client has declined to accept your offer of disposition in the subject referenced case.

When the court announced that each school could only send one team to the competition this year, the court got an email from one coach telling them that they would have blood on their hands because his students were planning on self-immolating if their school couldn’t send two teams.

Another coach is upset that they’re deducting points for inserting facts that aren’t in the problem. As he says, “The real purpose of mock trial is finding the facts you can extrapolate.”
