I am in a money crunch. This has happened to me less in recent years; GG&K does chafe at the soul, sometimes, but it pays well.

One of my best friends in law school actually had the support staff at Westlaw mailing him the craziest opinions he could find.

I just went to look up the text of the decision -- it's been a while since I read it -- and realized that one of the judges who joined in it (not the author, alas) is in fact a senior lawyer here at GG&K. We speak often, so now I get to fangirl him. In a professional way, of course.

I am unduly thrilled by this.

That's AWESOME! And yanno, no matter how many opinions he worked on at the court, somehow I'm guessing he'll probably remember the haunted house case. *grin*
