At least he didn’t shoot the messenger…

This week, dear readers, I seem to have a lot of law fodder for the blog, since mostly all I’ve been doing this week is working!  Those of you who enjoy the “Law” part of Little Miss Law are in luck; those of you who enjoy something juicier will just have to wait until I [...]

Can’t We All Just Get Along?

Before getting to the meat of the post, dear readers, I just had to share this comic that my dad called and told me about tonight:

The only thing that confuses me is…does this mean that Little Miss Law isn’t a published author????
Anyway, today I experienced for only the 3rd time in my career [...]

It’s My Job, And I’ll Whine if I Want To

After my panic attack at work a couple of weeks ago, I have still been incredibly busy, but somewhat more calm. (Perhaps it’s just that I’m too busy to do more than just try to keep my head above water? Hmm.) I am still considering all my life options, but since I [...]

“Nope, It’s Just Me and My Cat.”

It’s been a long Monday, but a good one. Still, I am happy to be home, in comfy clothes, Sex & the City on in the background (no, there’s no such thing as watching it too much), with Noodles on his new-favorite perch in front of the balcony, and blogging. Mmm.
Today I met [...]

Little Miss ???

Today, dear readers, I had the closest thing to a panic attack that I have ever experienced. After realizing that I may have screwed something up at work and that any helpful paper trail had been routinely deleted from my email without me printing them, I closed myself in my office, tried not to [...]

Ring a Ding Ding Part II

It has been a very long day, dear readers, but I felt compelled to finish it off with a blog. I woke up bright and early to drive to court this morning; sat outside the courtroom for almost an hour reviewing all the papers that had been filed in the case; sat in the [...]

Little Miss Law on Recruiting, part II

Happy Monday, dear readers. This promises to be a truly hectic week, as I am juggling my pro bono case, an appeal brief, a motion, and my first ever pseudo business trip. For tonight, though, I am taking a deep breath before I dive in, and focusing on the real priority — the [...]

Putting Things into Perspective

Sometimes, dear readers, it’s really hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  It’s so easy to get caught in the daily grind, the gripes and complaints and the headaches.  Days and weeks and months can go by, just trying to get from one day to the next.
Then, sometimes, you have a [...]

Honing my Dating Skills, on the Job

Dear readers, I apologize for my lack of blog-ness recently.  My recent lack of a computer at home has made blogging difficult (as I can’t bill this time to anyone!) but hopefully I will be buying a shiny new laptop this weekend.
I know what some of you (ahem, Knittikins) are going to say about my [...]

Small Victories

So today I had my very first ever substantive oral argument in court.  As I wrote yesterday, I was quite anxious ahead of time, and as expected slept very poorly and had strange dreams.  (I watched House just before bed, leading to a dream in which Hugh Laurie was my judge.  But he was much [...]
