woohooo Friday is coming!! :P
How relieved am I that Friday is finally here!!This week felt extra long...because there were 2 major things I had to do:1. Go to the Federal Magistrates' Court and get my client divorced in front of a real Registrar2. Interview a client and give them legal advice in relation to certain mattersOf course as these things are part of my course, they are mostly make-believe. Which means, the client is not real - we get our instructions from the school. We run a file based on our instructions. So it's as if we have a real client. We send letters, we call her and talk to her, we file divorce applications, affidavits etc. but in actual fact our "clients" are our mentors LOL. But the court was certainly real. It's a beautiful new court. And I got to stand at the bar table like a real lawyer presenting my case. One of the Registrars was uber nice. He asked us all to approach the bench, go up and sit on the nice leather chairs where the judges sit. He even asked us to try out the witness box LOL. It's an amazing rush of power just being seated up there. I was uber happy with my case because at first I was very nervous but once I started, my fears melted away."Madam Registrar my name is ................. and I appear on behalf of the Applicant wife, .............. in these proceedings."I kicked ass man. I was so proud of myself LOL. Thanks to Juin who helped me structure my facts as well as pretending to be a Registrar so as to help me practise.My first time speaking in court. What a rush.My interview with the client went well too. It wasn't a real client of course, but we're all given fact scenarios and instructions and we have about 3 hours to do research and then we go in and see our clients (who are our mentors again) and give them legal advice on their situation. My scenario was easy and my client was uber nice so it was a really comfortable interview. I can't believe I was so stressed out about it.I haven't laughed so much or so hard in awhile. Today was one of those days when I just laughed at everything. Everything and everyone was funny. We were all super stressed because we had so much to do but that didn't get in the way of us acting crazy. I'm so happy :)Dinner tomorrow night with my buddies and housewarming on Saturday night at Thil's new place. Hope I get some alone time to myself to sleep in or read my book and just rest. Enjoy the weekend everyone!! :)
