divine angst

I think I enjoy the persuasive writing more than the memo writing. Unfortunately, I think I might be enjoying it just a little too much. Currently, I’m working on a statement of facts for an appellate brief. I represent the appellant*, and I really don’t like the appellee. I mean, really, really don’t like him. The record indicates that he’s pretty much a jackass.

Perhaps it would be more educational if I had to argue his side, given he’s a tool. But I bet there are people in my class who are representing him who empathize or sympathize with him and think my client is unfeeling and discriminatory. So it works out in the end. I get to rip on the litigious, egotistical idiot and they get to slam on the money-grubbing corporate machine.

I’m glad this portion of the assignment is ungraded, though. I’m still feeling pretty snarky about the whole thing. This will allow me to work through the snark.

*I should note there is no real appellant or appellee, so I am referring strictly to characters on paper.
