Huh - I've been an attorney for 8 years.

I realized the other day that I've been a licensed attorney for 8 years, which actually makes it the longest career I've had yet by a bit - seven years total in various retail jobs (yeah, that was dumb, what can I say) and 6 years in construction (which was actually fairly useful, at least).  

And today, after eight some years, I won my first jury trial in federal court.  Life isn't bad.  Time for a drink.

Thanks! Yup - even we don't actually get many trials, so this is uncommonly cool!

Thanks! Yup - I think this is only our office's third or fourth jury trial this year, and I think it's our first win!

Thanks! Weeks of prep and planning, a day of execution, and 2 hours of jury deliberation. Whee!
