I can now say: OK members of the jury, postprandial proceedings at Treebeards, we'll see you back here for closing arguments.

I always tell myself on the eve of trial that I will get to bed early (11pm or so), so that I can be well-rested for voir dire. Inevitably, I lay in bed wide-eyed until 1:30 am, when I finally give up and go back to the laptop to jot down ideas for cross, issues for voir dire, etc. Speaking of energy bars, I got the idea to carry those in my bag during trial from this blog. Last trial I had, I walked back into court after a break to catch opposing counsel (an older lady) eating one of the bars out of my bag! I didn't say anything, but couldn't believe it. After the trial, the judge called me up to the bench and told me that opposing counseling was rifling through my bag during the break and took something out of it. Unbelievable. Ha.

Gotta get some sleep, or I'm worthless the next day. I think my brain has the appropriate balance of sleep and preparation pretty well figured out. Well, sure.
