Life Got Busy

I cannot believe my last post I was looking for something to do. All of the sudden life became insanely busy.

This past week I completed Appellate Advocacy after handing in my Brief, and finishing my Oral Argument. It went better than expected in some regards and worse in others. I started in with my script I had diligently prepared, and as soon as I said, "May it please the Court, my name is Matthew Tuttle. I represent the Appellant, Anna Garner, in this matter." The judge's started firing off questions. I expected a hot bench, but yeow. The first question was about the end of my argument. (Throw script out the window). I ended up feeling like I was all over the place, just because all I was really doing was answering their questions instead of presenting my argument the way I had designed. My professor, said my rebuttal was perfect.

Next week I have my remedies final and then summer semester is over.

I am staying very busy researching for Professor Pasquale. He has me researching a very interesting argument regarding Google's digital library and the copyright implications. At least it is very interesting to me.

I was also recently accepted to take the Patent Bar exam. I need to fit in at least 200 hours of study time between now and the end of September, when I'll take the exam. If I should pass I might be able to get a job after law school. Sweet.

On my Dad's birthday I will take the MPRE. It's a test on the professional rules for the legal profession and should not be too bad.

Then my family will be here and it will be party central until school starts back up and they leave on Monday, August 22nd.

That's all the updates.

Later.
