My moot court brief is complete and turned in. My T.A. sent an email with happy news:
"I am pleased to report that you have all passed the ten-error rule."
The ten-error rule in moot court is a requirement that all briefs contain less than ten errors. This is harder than it sounds. An error may be as simple as an extra return on one line, or incorrect use of ellipses. I passed with seven errors.
A brief that passes the rule will pass the class, and since this class is Pass/No Pass, and I have no interest in expending the energy required to win one of the moot court awards, I am in the clear.
The class itself isn't done. There is still oral argument to get through. But I don't care. My brief is done, the weather is gorgeous, and spring break is around the corner!

That ten-error rule is a great idea. Yeah, it's a high bar, but what a great way to narrow the competition. It also has the advantage of giving you immediate feedback on the general quality of this thing you've been slaving over for so long. Congrats on passing this hurdle!
