Nosebleeds

I can imagine how the public feels as they watch the ongoing impeachment trial. The rules of evidence only started to make sense to me when I started to work and be involved in litigation. Although my knowledge of evidence now is fairly decent, I totally understand why it’s now causing nosebleed to the public and even to some impeachment lawyers.

Evidence is one branch of law that only starts to make sense when you practice it. As opposed, I guess, to Taxation, which makes sense at all. Haha.

Anyway, the other thing that’s making my nose bleed these days is this offer I was given in which I’m expected to know the ins and outs of finance, engineering, and technology. Last I checked, I had zero units of those last two subjects, although I must say, I have a hundred units of how-to-sound-convincing-when-you’re-really-just-winging-it. Haha. The worn-out “let me get back to you on that” still works, after all.

But going back to the impeachment, it’s bound to make more noses bleed in the days to come. In fact, it seems to me that the lawyers (both for the prosecution and the defense) are hemorrhaging their way through it. As my civil procedure professor once said: “The Rules of Court…you either get it or you don’t.”


Well, thanks to the ongoing impeachment, we now know where to find those who don’t.
