Yips! From Robbo The Wonder-Advocate

Just dialing in from my secured location in South Carolina to leave a quick note for all you Orgleheads wondering what the hell happened to me. (Okay, okay, I mean Mom & Dad.) Suffice to say that this civil advocacy course I'm on for Father Justice has turned out to be a whoooole lot more labor-intensive than I had previously suspected. Homework and trial prep and, and, and everything! Classes all day yesterday and then hitting the books from about seven til midnight last night and again this morning at 5:30 - I don't recall studying this hard since law exams all those many years ago.

Anyhoo, we did an opening arguments workshop this morning. It was one of those deals that is videotaped, and afterwards you go off with one of the advisors to get a "critique". I'm sure it will make INDCent Bill smile sarcastically, but I was told that I am a bit too formal in my delivery- that I use dollar words where I ought to use the ten cent variety.

My critiquer also said that my style reminded her a bit of a lecture she had recently seen by Tom Wolfe. I think she meant this as a bit of criticism, but frankly, I rayther took it as a compliment.

Stuffy? Moi?

I'm on break at the moment owing to our section finishing a bit early. God knows when I'm going to have the time and energy to get back here in the next week and a half. But I'll try.

In the meantime, have fun and be good. By the way - what the hell is going on in the world?

Yip! at you later.

Yip! Yip! Yip!
