I'll admit it - I've never practiced in juvenile court before, and I'm learning that the standards are different. I'm also learning not to race to judgment, pity, or any of the other gut feelings that make me feel powerful and then make me miss the point. If I can just shut up and listen to what's being said to me, I can provide much better advice than what lives in my own meandering experience.
So for the past few weeks, I've had time to run through the gamut of feelings and impressions about a recent case. I've had time to get input from others who are either directly, indirectly, or not at all involved with with the situation. And I've finally given myself time - this involves not thinking at all - to determine my own response. I'm feeling positive about chances, and I'm planning a day that will be unexpected to all involved.
Good thing I finally figured it out, since the hearing's tomorrow.
