I often wonder what I'll end up doing and whether it will be based on the law itself or the implications the practice area has on family time.LEOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081911312259246237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-18064433369995834002009-10-30T13:49:15.878-05:002009-10-30T13:49:15.878-05:00LL -

It's the law clerk and if its a law clerk like me, you just put the draft opinion in front of the judge and tell them "sign here" and the briefs are never read by the "judge." But, as a law clerk, I greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into the brief because then I don't have to research anything haha.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-16197320881875211482009-10-30T08:03:31.333-05:002009-10-30T08:03:31.333-05:00I wish he did more briefing.

As of now there's no hearing set (and there's a good chance they're won't be one as this federal judge usually writes his decisions on Motions to Dismiss purely based on the briefs), though I would love a chance to travel over to Miami to attend.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-68525022311371269882009-10-29T09:04:35.808-05:002009-10-29T09:04:35.808-05:00Great job!!

Crafting words to say just what you want them to and strategizing with the big boys (and girls). Sometimes I miss those days. But, as you say, it's all about balance and I've found that at different times in your life the balannce can tip more one way or the other, only to go back again later.Michelle Morgan-Coolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03671529553739362752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-4322037169300305652009-10-29T05:29:11.605-05:002009-10-29T05:29:11.605-05:00I totally hear you about missing bedtime. Charlie ...I totally hear you about missing bedtime. Charlie goes to sleep ridiculously early (around 6:15). This semester, I teach a class from 4-6 one day a week. I usually get home after bedtime that day, and it makes me so sad! Fortunately, I have a much lighter schedule the rest of the week and usually get to spend several hours a day with him.Hanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16292032945649981019noreply@blogger.com
