Trial redux

Sooo much better than when I hilariously and disastrously went out for mock trial. I have learned a lot since then.

We lost, but we didn't have the facts or law on our side. We came close on the breach of k issue, but even winning would only have netted us basically nominal damages. He said in 10 years, the few times the plaintiffs won this trial, the most they got was $10 grand. Our jury would have awarded $8 grand if they found in our favor. Which they didn't. But its ok.

I think I responded to a legitimate objection ("Leading the witness") with a very mature, measured and professional ("Was Not!") response.

The judge/prof turned to one of the witnesses and asked him if he liked Dick. Yes, he absolutely did it on purpose. The guy is hilarious.

Went out for post-trial celebratory drink. Law girls may or may not have rocked the Bon Jovi Livin' on a Prayer karaoke. It may or may not have been horrible, shriek-y, and exactly what Simon Cowell is always bitching about.

But it is over.
