Groovenstein Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Well ladies and gents, though not definite yet, there's a good chance that I will be spending the next several months clerking with the Public Defender in one of Nebraska's fine counties. My job would include researching assorted legal issues (statutory and constitutional interpretation--yeah!), second chairing on hearings and trials, and maybe even first chairing on some stuff. Most of my work would be done at home, it's great hours for my bar study over the next few months, and I'd be able to come back home for a few weeks before the MA bar which means I could be around Boston for OCon. So the three of you on here that like me, keep your fingers crossed on this one. Or just pray . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The General Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 That's great news Matt, I hope that everything works out there for you. If I do well enough on my spring exams, I have a very good chance of being my Torts professor's research assistant for the summer (and TA the following spring). Here's to both of us achieving our values! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softwareNerd Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Make that four. Congratulations, Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidOdden Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Make that five. Congratulations, and let us know what county you end up in, so that we can come a commit a victimless crime and then call upon you to defend our rights. I look forward to the experience!

Groovenstein Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Thanks for the congrats. I hope they're not premature! If I get this gig, of course I will discuss some of my work on here to the extent I'm allowed to. Should be interesting. If I do well enough on my spring exams, I have a very good chance of being my Torts professor's research assistant for the summer (and TA the following spring). Go get 'em. Hey, are you at McGeorge? One of the Nebraska Supreme Court Justices went there. Also, my uncle's a lawyer in Sacramento. Small world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The General Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Hey, are you at McGeorge? One of the Nebraska Supreme Court Justices went there. Also, my uncle's a lawyer in Sacramento. Small world. Yes, McGeorge. Small world indeed. State Supreme Court Justice, eh? Sounds like a job I could put up with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovenstein Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Yeah, he's a nice guy, too, although I don't know anything about his jurisprudence. When I visited my uncle, I spent a couple hours on McGeorge's campus. It's absolutely beautiful. It was great reading a couple law review articles underneath a palm tree. All I was missing was an umbrella drink and a certain young lady (preferably with her hair in a ponytail, in a tanktop, shorts . . . you get the idea).

Groovenstein Posted March 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Now we want to hear all about it! Well, to start with I have to learn all the Nebraska laws governing criminal restitution over the next couple days. Felipe, I knew I was going to regret pointing you to those old pictures.

Qwertz Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Remember to wear your shiny pants to court...I'm sorry, 'shiny pants?' What is this 'shiny pants?' 'Shiny pants' from 'old pictures.' I am thoroughly intrigued! -Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaloNoble6 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Regret?! You could totally win your case should you face a female judge. Just say: "Your honor, are my pants shiny enough for you to see yourself in them?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovenstein Posted April 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Well, to start with I have to learn all the Nebraska laws governing criminal restitution over the next couple days. Okay, not all the laws governing restitution. Just enough to get a basic understanding of the statutory scheme. The thrust of this particular assignment is to analyze an issue very similar to the one discussed here. As you would probably expect, I will not participate in public discussion of my arguments, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
