Victory!

My fledgling law firm had its first trial today. (Technically this isn't correct, I did have a trial in a divorce case but since we had worked everything out beforehand it was more of a hearing, as nothing was in doubt.) The Judge found in our favor, and I'm getting fees and costs paid by the Defendants. Wheee.

A funny sidebar, just before we entered the courtroom, I instructed my client to completely turn off his cell phone since Judges hate it when those things go off in court. So ,we begin the trial. I'm starting my opening statement, when a phone rings. Everyone looks at each other, but it was the Judge's phone.
