For about five minutes, I thought it would be fun to blog about my trial. Every day. But then I thought that, even though it may be interesting for the lawyers out there, it would totally ruin the whole mirage for the non-lawyers. I mean, everyone should think it's like an episode of Law & Order. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of people in suits belaboring small points about whether or not a document is being used to prove the truth of the matter asserted.

On a personal and unrelated note, my grandmother died this morning. I found out during the lunch break at my trial. I'm sad, but ultimately okay with it, I guess. I mean, it's not like it was unexpected. And she did make it quite convenient for me, since I'm already up here and all.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. I suppose this happens when spouses are so close, as your grandparents seem to be. Glad that you're doing well and that you're close to your family right now. Good luck with the trial.
Actually, it's the other grandmother, my dad's mother, the one up in NJ. My Nana is doing fine, although she hates being alone.
Thanks for the wishes.
I'm so sorry about your loss - just a warm thought from a girl in Philly.
Thanks. The thoughts are appreciated.
Sorry to hear about your grandmaother.
94, that's impressive. Glad to hear that your mom's mom is doing well.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Dara. Best wishes to you and your family.
I'm really sorry to hear about your grandmother.
Thanks for not disturbing my illusion that every time a new witness is called in a courtroom, a guh-GUNK sound doesn't play. This is ultimately why I decided not to go to law school.
Jeff: Thanks.
The Goo: Thanks to you too.
And, yeah, real life lawyering is very different from tv. Much much slower.
