People used to tell me how alien hospitals make them feel, considering the time you spend during your training in one I was always a little taken aback at that. Going to the court room today feeling like duck out of water I finally understood what they meant. Being the only female in a room with a high ceiling and a scowling juge sitting under a wooden canopy is intimidating specially when you have no idea whatsoever you are supposed to do! The setting should have been grand and austere but unfortunately like everything else was saturated with an aura of neglect reflected in the peeling pain and the shredded upholstery. You are in for a major disappointment if you expect the crisp repertoire of boston legal. Most of the lawyers cant even be heard by the judge let alone the audience. They read from papers they have infront of them in a parrot like fashion most seeming on the verge of fleeing as if the hounds of hell were on their heels! The only redeeming feature was being let alone relatively early without being asked anything by his lordship who could give masters courses in scowling. Sigh, and here I thought it would be interesting!

disappointment :P
A, same here, and my judge was prune faced to say the least. Perry mason and grisham seem to live only on paper :(!
