terrorist ambulance posted:Does anyone else have trouble eating during trial Make sure you get some food with protein and fat in you early in the morning so it's settled by court time. That should carry you into late afternoon. Something small and snacky like gorp or a power bar during lunch will make sure you get through the rest of the in-court part of the day. Get dinner early if you can, then back to work. e: \/\/\/ The MC D's on the way to my courthouse has a goddamned magician on the night crew. Every time I get a sausage egg McMuffin at 5:30 in the morning, every bit is spot-on perfect. Not 'good for McDonald's good, but 'holy poo poo, the Platonic Form of breakfast' good. joat mon fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Mar 5, 2020 |

For some reason I like to eat McDonald's breakfast during trials. I usually don't eat breakfast.

If I don't eat, I can't function. I bring a bag full of snacks to stuff my mouth at every break in court.

Opposing counsel gave me an opportunity to strike a pleading, and it's so nice to come across a situation where I'm 100% correct. They filed a motion to tax appellate costs well past the 45 day deadline in the rules. The trial court has no choice but deny their motion. I might be able to get the 2.5 hours of research and drafting time for sanctions, even. This is the one bright spot in my job in quite some time. I do not like being an attorney.

hmm my school is talking about opening up the remote learning opportunities due to Corona Virus. Seemingly some of our lectures are going to either be live casts or posted on Youtube. Got me praying for some nice late season snow

When you get burned out on criminal defence, there's always employer-side labour relations if you want to feel like poo poo about what you do for a living.

I'm at six and honestly enjoying it, partly because I'm in traffic court so all my clients are relatively innocent, partly because I just repeat "my client doesn't need jail, he needs therapy and/or services" to myself like a mantra OTOH I have over thirty cases set for jury trial in one week next month, so, gently caress me

I would have lasted longer if not for the murder, assault, and domestic violence cases. DV was the worst.

Yeah I don't have any seriously violent cases, and I only do the lowest level, least serious a&b's and DV's. It's all old couples yelling and throwing slippers at each other and they all get dismissed because by time of trial they've always reconciled. Guy across the hall from me does murders and I have to close my office door when he's watching videos. Too much to deal with.

By the time I figure it out it's too late. I mean, I still do my job well, I just don't get emotionally involved in the outcome, whereas with some of the addict/mentally-unwell clients, I do (which is ultimately probably a recipe for burnout). But regardless I feel like opposing state violence is something I can feel good about. Even if my client is a poo poo, they likely don't deserve to be locked up in a concrete box.

My practice is nothing but DV in various arenas and lately I can feel my soul shriveling up because jesus christ. Did just get an angel donor to donate 10k to a client of mine who can't work due to the abuse, so there's a ray of sunshine.

Ditto. Did it for a summer, got a guy off of a murder charge and a guy off of a child molestation charge. That was enough for me. [Insert obligatory, but genuine, glad there are people who can do it because people should have an advocate.]
