14th February, 2009 - Ten Things I Love About my Job #2

There isn’t anything like winning a court case. It is like a little war. For those of us who have soft hands and spectacles, the court room is as close as we will ever come to hand to hand fighting. Don’t get me wrong, if you are ever involved in a scrap, don’t call on me for assistance. You would be as well to call on your nan. Your nan can almost certainly punch better than me.

So I save my little battles for the court room. Or at least I did, since I fairly rarely deal with court cases myself now. But I sometimes miss sitting in my little trench, behind the piles of books and papers masquerading as sand bags, and hurling authorities at the other side like grenades.
