Screaming Bean
Wednesday, April 14, 2004

For my judicial placement there is a classroom component that meets on Wednesdays. It's taught by a judge. Since it is a judge it has to meet really early in the morning in order to accommodate the judge's schedule. Luckily I actually enjoy this class and I don't fall asleep. The class is a loose discussion of issues that come up in our placements, and occasionally a guest speaker. Today we learned the following: being pro se is like being your own dentist...if you pull out your own tooth and get an infection, tough sh**. That if you're clerking for a judge you should write like a judge and not use the words "I think" or "The court thinks" or "Assuming arguendo". That juries are allowed to ask questions of the witness on the stand in Nevada. This is also true in Indiana. That there should not be a higher standard when bringing a TRO against a governmental agency. And most importantly, that there will be a plot twist on The Apprentice and Troy will win. (This is merely conjecture by the judge.)
