Is this the usual situation - to have rookies on courtroom duty?
Any FReeper out there with knowledge?
No real inside skinny, but the job is one with most days being routine and boring and then some days are like today. It takes the right attitude to handle these situations, but yes, I would say that the courtroom is considered an easy gig with little action or chance of action.
With afirmative action, I would imagine that a female is paired with a male bailaf, this was apparently not the case this time.
