A Day in my Life

My day begins at 8am when the Court commences. I rush from one case to another, doing hearings in some while conducting cross-examinations in the others. The Court adjourns for the day at 1:30pm, after which I go straight to my office to conduct meetings with clients and potential clients. Before leaving office at around 7:30pm, I make sure that I am fully prepared for the next day in Court, by looking over all the files for the cases due in the morning.
