Not to boast, but I rocked the house last night. Yesterday was the semifinal round of the Daniel S. Guy Appellate Advocacy Competition, an oral argument contest here at the school pitting we mouthy classmates against each other before three judges. And I won. Four of us were chosen to be on the Moot Court Board of Advocates, which means we get a good shot at being on the moot court team, and we get to be judges ourselves in the competition next year. I was in the
zone:
Judge: "Counsel, what is the purpose of the statutory limit of three thousand dollars in the small claims court? What if it were three hundred thousand dollars? How would that amount change the equation here?"
Me: "Your honor, the three thousand dollar limit speaks to the very heart of the matter. First of all, we would have to change the name to 'the large claims court' . . ."
The whole bench broke out laughing. Oh yeahh.
