I had mostly small hearings; dramatics don't go over so well with magistrates, and, there's not much call for flamboyancy in corporate transactional work. : )
I have escaped to academe, which gives me a fair amount of free time to watch CourtTV during the day.
A busy trial practice and a gaggle of children don't mix well at all. I started looking to bail when I missed my daughter's kindergarten Christmas pageant (boo on the judge who set a trial for CHRISTMAS EVE!)
