Well, the first case I argued in the Wyoming Supreme Court is now out. The court affirmed, which is exactly what I argued it should do.
It's a pretty minor case, with a simple issue and there wasn't that much to it. And I didn't write the brief, so I figure I had a 2% contribution to its overall success. Still, it's nice to have a published opinion out there with the words, "Argument by Mr. Williams."
I'm still waiting for my other two cases: one went before the court without oral argument in August and another I argued in October. They're both completely mine. Plus my last case is on the argument calendar for February, so I'll get to do that one, too.
I really love this stuff. Even though I love nearly everything I've done in school, I think I might be particularly suited to appellate practice.
Congratulations! A 2% contribution to such a success is more than many can claim, y'know ...
Good luck with the others -- thoughts will be with you in February.
I hope your time with your family was good & that all of you will have health and happiness in abundance in 2007!
