This past weekend my clinical instructor asked me to prepare an opening statement to present to the civil clinic as a demonstration for the clinic students. And since Connie asked me nice, I said ok. Over the weekend I read the case, and prepared an opening statement. At the same time, I prepared my opening for my Advanced Trial Advocacy. And I spent most of today being nervous, since 2 openings in one day is just a bit much for me. But I did the opening for the clinic, and I THINK I did ok. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get some feedback on the whole thing. But man did it feel good to finish that opening without tripping up, or forgetting something major. Woo!
