The Externship Begins

Working at the state supreme court means passing through these doors to get to the office every morning. The resulting sense of self-importance is pretty intense. Here is what I learned in my first week:

1. Real attorneys spend a lot less time proofreading than students do. Every document I've looked at has more than its share of typos and grammatical errors.
2. Being asked to decide which side is right is much harder than merely being told to argue for one side or the other.

So far, I love the work. All indications are that it's going to be a great semester.
