the judiciary

Life in the judiciary is wonderful. It's all the good parts of law school, minus the annoying exams. Well, also minus the wild, inebriated parties. But as tradeoffs go, that isn't a bad one.

I work on cases before the appellate court. This means either civil or criminal cases. I have already learned more about criminal procedure in three days than I did in a semester of criminal law, though to be fair my criminal law course wasn't about criminal procedure. Still, though, it's a lot of new material to absorb. The beauty of the appellate court is that each case is a new issue, a new set of facts, and new law to learn. I'm learning new-to-me law every day.  It's fantastic.

Gee, sounds like a great niche marketing idea; The 'new-to-me law a day' calendar!

Except maybe it wouldn't be new to the people using the calendar! What we need is a magic, Harry Potter-ish daily calendar that knows what you know and makes it always new to you. :)
