Worked like a horse all day yesterday: first to the morning networking meeting, then some light yardwork, then until 8 p.m. on a client’s book. It’s good…I hope he likes the final edits.
Now must race — it’s already quarter to six!! — to get down to the law school: mock trial for the country prosecutor’s office. Last year I got “volunteered” by one of my former TAs, who graduated from law school and was interning for the prosecutor, into serving on a mock jury for a project put together to train young litigators. It was fun, so I said I’d do it again.
Hence, all the work pushed up a day.
And now, it’s off and running again. Hope your Friday is grand!

Good to hear you still have time for community service even on a busy schedule! That’s very inspiring though! I’am in a field of business and have a busy schedule too. I hope I can do community service and experience the fun that you have.
I’ve finally been able to make time for community service too! Makes me feel fantastic – and can actually be a lot of fun. Good for you!
Recently I’ve begun regarding the community-college teaching as a form of community service, too. By the time you count in course prep and grading time, a face-to-face course may pay less than minimum wage.
Discovered an old friend of mine, now lawyering for the Great Desert University, lists — on his resume — the adjunct courses he teaches as “community service.”
What a good idea! Sure beats bellyaching about the pauperly pay and working conditions…and it makes you look like Ms. Noblesse Oblige! 😀
