my day is coming

As much as I am enjoying civil procedure, Prof. Civ Pro himself can still strike steely fear into my heart.

I went to his office hours today because I had a question about in personam jurisdiction. He was very gracious and he answered my question clearly and directly.

While I was packing up to leave, Prof. Civ Pro asked about my background. I think he was just making polite conversation, but I briefly explained to him my software engineering background.

When he heard what I had been doing before law school, he perked up.

"Really?" he asked me.

"Really," I said, "that's what I did."

"Ah," he said, smiling broadly, "you're really going to like one of the upcoming cases."

"Mmmmmhph. Um, yeah," I replied, trying for as non-committal an answer as I could muster.

"Yes," he said, "I think you'll definitely like it." He smiled at me. "Now, how do you pronounce your name again?"

Eeeeeeeek.

Only a fellow law student could read that exchange and cast it like a horror flick. I fear for you.

I have no idea what case he's talking about! I went through all of the upcoming cases, and none of them are obviously computer related. Wah!

My money's on <i>Bellino v. Simon</i>. Which, incidentally, has inspired what might turn out to be my note topic.
