Trial Run



I had my first direct examination. I was questioning a witness regarding a telephone call he reeived from a jealous coworker. The coworker threatened to pour sugar into my witness' gas tank if he didn't pay him $500. Fortunately, my witness survived the defense's cross examination virtually unscathed. Litigation is one of the most fascinating experiences of being a lawyer. It makes drafting estate plans seem dull in comparison.
