Workin' for the man
Finally, I found myself legal employment. I have a honkin' 5 hour break between classes on Monday and Wednesday, and nothing to do on Friday, so I'm turning some of those hours into money by working at a law firm in the Loop.
The coolest thing I've gotten to do so far is file a lawsuit at the Daley Center. I walked over there, complaint and summons in hand, thinking to myself, make way, peons. I have a *lawsuit*! Of course, my sense of importance was soon deflated because there were about 100 other people there also filing lawsuits, and at least five other law clerks who were bouncing around the Loop filing suits, doing the bidding of a senior partner, looking as confused as me.
My dropping off those papers has some interesting effects, too. From what I understand, the documents go to the Sheriff, who then has to go serve the complaint on the defendant. She is going to be pretty unhappy when she finds out she's getting sued for lots of money. I'm guessing she is in trouble!
Now the other downside of this is that I actually can't goof off at work. Not that I did before... No, not at all. Uh... Yeah.
