I thought I saw you every day this week! You missed something? For as busy as I am sure you are you do seem to find time for this list too, how much do you sleep? 1 hour, 2?

I have been spending the last two days in an AKC Trial Board Hearing. It was the hardest hearing I have ever done, and for some reason there was a lot of anger, and hostility. The witnesses had some very strong opinions as did the prosecutor and defense attorney. We finished late yesterday and then the Trial Board had to discuss the issues and reach a conclusion. I came in today at 5:00 a.m. to dictate our decision, since I have four clients in the morning and a deposition in the afternoon. I did finish the dictation and decided to go through some of the e-mail. It is interesting to see the extent that the AKC goes through to protect the rights of the accused. If ever you wonder, they spend whatever it takes, and take as long as is needed. It is not easy work. There should be no question that the hearings are fair, thorough, and complete. The last two days have been as intense and difficult as any two days in my 30 years of the practice of law. When the decision is typed and if everyone on my Trial Board agrees, it should be of some interest to the parties. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
