I attended the final round of the appellate advocacy competition last night. Big turn out, had a panel of 5 judges as the bench. All I have to say is if my preliminary rounds had gone the way the questioning went last night, I'd been a finalist. It showed just how people who actually know what they're doing can get the information from the earliest without even trying. They weren't being cryptic or obstinate, just persistent and knowledgeable. They'd actually read the record on appeal and knew the points of law. The decision was correct too. I'm glad I went. Even my spouse (who I dragged to the finals) understood why these judges are where they are today.
