i am heading to CT early tomorrow morning for a trial that may last all summer... or resolve in a settlement tomorrow. such is the way in civil practice, for better or worse.
i met a few law students the other night at a federal bar dinner. they are interning with the (wonderful) judge i once interned for, and supported by a professor that always advocated for me. it was a sweet, bewildering experience to meet them, to discuss school and careers and legal minds in Boston, to have them ask to meet me for coffee, as if i have any real advice on how to navigate practicing law. i most assuredly do not.
at the same event, i ran into the first attorney i ever worked for, and a federal prosecutor i had the great chance to work with in 3L. it was so strange, and nice, to have the collision of people i met earlier in my career with my present self, and have hopeful young law students looking to me for advice.
the strange turns this life takes.
