I've started my fellowship at the DC Superior Courthouse and it's actually really wonderful. So far, I have only good things to say about a courtroom experience, however, I lucked out with a sharp judge and an even better supervising clerk. One, specifically, who doesn't believe in "artificial barriers" about legal-status hierarchy. Yah! You mean I can practice law without having to like all the bullshitty status concerns? Who knew.
A major lesson so far? Pro se plaintiffs (people w/o lawyers) have a tough road to hoe. I knew it abstractedly, but, as I sink further and further into The Legal Field it just keeps becoming more evident.
Other than that, we'll see how this Job Search thing unfolds. Sigh. HIRE ME.
Currently Listening: Gin Wigmore - "These Roses" & "Don't Stop"
(this gal's raspy gravel voice & eye makeup is like 90s Garbage, but her peppy song choice is functional Amy Winehouse. pretty sweet combo).
