Blogging From Court

| 30 March 2009

I'm thinking about a "strangest places to blog from" series (don't bother with correcting my prepositional grammar).

I've thought about this before; as a criminal defense lawyer, I could post from jails, prisons, courthouses, and a host of other interesting places. But, how about from inside a courtroom at counsel's table? Perhaps a journalist could pull it off, but a lawyer?

Nevertheless, this is the position I find myself in. It's not uncommon for judges to wait on lawyers, but today I find myself waiting on a judge. I look around and there are three people in the courtroom: me, my client, and his soon-to-be-ex wife, and they are all on their phones texting.

I had no urgent texts to send, so I thought I'd blog. What has this world come to?

I feel so deprived ;)

I understand, jails and prisons are not for everybody, thank God.
