Being a young attorney practicing litigation is not the most aweful thing. Other then that sinking feeling that you are leaching off the rest of the world and add no value and do nothing to prove the worth of your existence, there is also the problem that older attorneys and judges want to make your life as difficult as possible.
This week I had a judge give me a lesson in law. I learned that I should come to hearings completely prepared. Of course. Thanks. Who knew that completely prepared meant knowing what weekends in 2009 my boss would be available when the case by local rules is required to be heard by october 08. Obviously I should have known that rules are gay.
I am really smart, but really stupid.

Was the judge Asian?
Well duh. Isn't that the very first thing you learn in Law School?
I'm no lawyer but I do work closely enough with them that even I know the calendar means nothing.
I was scheduled to be an expert witness in a case scheduled for the third week in April. Of course, that didn't happen. Got a call this afternoon that now they think it will be heard the last week of October.
Like I said, duh. Why didn't I know that was going to happen.
