My wife, who is doing a great job as a volunteer with CASA (which provides volunteer advocates for kids in foster care, who troubleshoot the system for the kids), has her first court hearing as a CASA today.

/2 I considered hazing her like we used to do to the rookie federal prosecutors by telling her before her first hearing “the most important thing with a judge is not showing fear, you have to get in their face and tell them they’re wrong.”
