Ah, no rest for the weary...though I did actually get some sleep. Today was our last "Lawyering" class, and it was a oral argument example by the Moot Court board. I've already given some thought to this argument, and I would love to say the following..."May it please the court, take your turtle and shove it up your butt." Two problems with this...one, I'm the government/plaintiff, and am supposed to be protecting the turtles, and two, well...it just isn't done. The problem we've been writing all these briefs on involves a turtle! Do I care about the turtle? At this stage I'd like to knowingly take, trap, possess, and transport the threatened turtle, just to piss people off. And, if had given any thought to going into environmental law, any enjoyment I may have derived from the subject matter has been burned from me in the cruicible of this class. Maybe that's the point...since she's an environmental attorney by training, she's trying to prevent competition in the field.
