Done

The brief is finally complete and turned in. Now, as I've mentioned before, this is law school. Objective #2 = Learn to drink like an attorney. Let me paint the picture for you...

Tuesday evening.
We had to professionally bind two copies of the brief and turn it in between 5:30 and 6:30. This was the only hour the "Clerk's Office" would be open. No early submissions, no late submissions. All 300 1L's lined up outside the room where the brief was to be filed. And of course, most people had been to the bar prior to standing in line. Once we walked into the room, the brief was stamped with the filing date/time. Then we proceeded through the door on the opposite side of the room where the Moot Court professors greeted us with law school beer huggies. I thought to myself, "Wait. Where's the beer?" After being congratulated on finishing the brief, several ice chests full of beer were waiting. Ah, perfect. Once the beer supply went dry, we gathered at a local pub that was reserved for our "Brief Relief" private party. More free beer...and food. Ah, perfect. I'm starting to see where my $30,000/year tuition is being spent. At least some of it's going to a good cause.
