Court Notes
I've been in court all afternoon...transferring cases to other attorneys, winding down others that should end before summer school starts. One of my colleagues asked me to check my calendar for my last day there, so they could plan a going-away party. "You would like a going-away party wouldn't you?" she asked.
"Only if you all are that glad to get rid of me," I replied.
Without missing a beat she said "In that case, we want to make sure you won't be back." Do I work with some great people or what?
I really hope they don't do that. I'm going to cry all the way home on my last day as it is. And like baseball, there's no crying in court. By the attorneys at least. Defendants try that all the time for all the good it does them. Saw one today (not my case) start with the tears because she couldn't understand why no one would bring her kids for visitation with her in the jail. Perhaps she should've thought about that before she got arrested...again.
I'll never understand these people.
