Etheringtons Solicitors 2.
17.11.2009.
My feet hurt a lot, but Thank God for today!
Woke up at 6:30. But rushed out of house so Elena heels were not properly placed onto my feet. It was horrible. Had to wait to North Sydney before fixing. Walked into Etheringtons 8:10. They changed receptionist. Today was Vincent...I think. Anyways as soon as I walked in, we introduced ourselves and I strolled into the photocopying room.
Michael was impressed that I actually looked OLDER. ^^. 5 years older. -headdesk-
Anyways. As soon as we packed another huge suitcase with a smaller suitcase, we were ready to leave in 10 minutes when Paul asked me to stack the dishes. ^^''.
Then holding 5 folders in my hands and with Michael wheeling the two suitcases, we caught a taxi. YES!.
On the way, it was more chatting about school and ... general opinions.
As soon as we got to the chambers, we went upstairs to Tom's Chamber and unpacked. There was So many folders everywhere.
After ordering the folders chronologically, we decided to filled this metal trolley which contained 40 folders, and packed approximately 20 folders into the large suitcase. This was then herded into the lift and out onto the streets. It was hard labour! But anyways...we lugged it along towards the Supreme court when...I bumped into Ariel! She was working next door in Wentworth's Chambers.
^^
Small world. Anyways. As soon as we got to our courtroom in Level 10, we had to unpack and go back to Tom's chambers to get the rest of the folders. This procedure happened 3 times. =0. But it was fun!
As the case started, it was about defamation. Cross examination happened for the whole day. Basically, I was there from 10:to 4. In between was recess and lunch. The defense lawyer was using a interesting method of questioning the plaintiff. The plaintiff was suing the defendant for defamation through articles and ads. ^^. It was a former mayor suing against a former council member...^^.
So that happened for the whole day. In between was recess. Recess was spent drinking water while Michael pondered about what was going through the defense lawyer's head. Lunch was meeting up with : Phylis, Vanessa, Sabrina, Shirley, Ariel, Ariana, Lauren, Rachel, Claudia and Sophia!. So many people! It was so cool seeing everyone in corporate dress! But we still acted like ... 16 year olds XD.
It was fun, taking notes, because every now and then, our barrister would object and then the judge, she would overrule him, and then he would object again and then she would go "yes...?"
She looked so bored by the end of the day...^^.
But it was cool. Talking to the plaintiff, the former mayor, makes me feel for him. This case has been going on for 6 years! Seriously! > <''
As we caught the taxi back, Michael told me that I could go to court tomorrow. ^^. Again! Awesome. But then he said I would have to stay at the office for the next two days otherwise he would be accused of "hogging" and that's wouldn't be good. ^^
The day went by fast...> <''
It was time to go home before I knew.
Can't wait to tomorrow!
