Screaming Bean
Monday, April 26, 2004

I just had my end of semester judicial placement meeting. It took an odd turn early on. I had to explain what I had done over the semester. I explained that I worked on a forfeiture action and had decided for the government. This led the interviewer to go off on how I should be thinking about the client in the case and how the impact that such a decision could change their lives. I kept trying to defend myself and couldn't get a word in edgewise. This whole statement was laid on me without knowing any of the details of my case. I honestly feel offended that it's implied that I wouldn't have thought the case through before coming to a decision. As if I thought the entire decision was a flip sort of thing and not worth my time to realize the impact. I even had said that the clerk had decided not to go with my decision due to extraneous information that I had no reason to know while drafting the decision. Up to this point I thought I had done good work at my placement. I thought I had served my clerk well and produced a well reasoned and thoughtful decision. This "diatribe" (might be too strong a word, but I'm at a loss here) has left me scratching my head and feeling injured. At least I'm only 8 hours from the end. One last time sheet and I'm done. I guess I'm not cut out for this either.
