We lost our case

Our trial ad trial was Saturday and we lost to the Whiners. Sort of a hollow victory for them, though, since no one on the plaintiff's side has won this case yet. They didn't perform better than us, they just had the facts on their side.

We got critiqued by our jurors and two judges. Most of the comments were very helpful, but there was one young college student who must have been overcome by the power of criticizing a law student. She trashed all of us, but while she was doing it all of the other jurors were rolling their eyes and shaking their heads.

Mostly I'm just glad its over. Trial ad was a huge time suck and it was keeping me from paying enough attention to my other classes. Now I can settle in and start thinking seriously about finals.

In the meantime, I've also taken off from my externship until finals are over--so I probably won't have anything interesting to post in the next couple of weeks.
