[at-l] And how was your morning?

[icw39@ncfreedom.net (Clark Wright)]

Gosh, sounds like an episode of The Practice!  We're on the edge of our
seats, wanting to know:
1)  Did the Bimbo make any passes at counsel during the trial?
2)  How are Judge Julian's AA classes going?
3)  Have you made up for your grievous failure to give Christmas
presents by sending a box of Godiva Chocolates to all the clerks? :)
4)  Just what did go wrong in jury selection, and did you preserve your
appeal rights appropriately? :)
5)  Have you and the clerk's office settled the new civil lawsuit filed
by the Court Reporters company yet seeking recovery of their legitimate
transcript copy fees? (grin!)

and, last but not least . . .

6)  What was yer client convicted of, and was he previously married to
or going out with the BIMBO?????

Curious hikers are dying to know - so stay tuned for the next episode of
"as the e-mail trail turns" . . . :)

thru-thinking down here in NC, where ALL the clerks and judges are JUST
AWESOME, GREAT, UPSATNDING individuals!  [just in case any of 'em are
lurking out there . . . ]
