Minneapolis Woman Treks Across River for Breakfast with Future Law Partners
Met Matt & Geoff at St. Clair Broiler or Grill or whatever for breakfast this a.m. Matt has been in Greece for most of the past month, and Geoff is setting an all-time record for hours spent on a golf course. I do like those hosers. Matt (former cop) gave me some tips on my speeding ticket situation--specifically he recommended that I not waste my time fighting it, and instead, try to get a continuance from the clerk. Does anyone know anything about this? And now, I am holed up at Dunn Bros. back on my side of the river, working on cite-checking and editing. Whee! I have lunch plans with Mike, another school buddy, and have to spend the evening in the Law Journal office doing some stuff, not sure just what yet. Gag. Better get back to it.

This is when I ask what, pray tell, a "continuance" is.
Continuance generally means the matter is being delayed for some reason, e.g. rescheduled for later court date...here=they give you one year & if you don't commit same or similar crime it doesn't go on your record. But you still have to pay the fine. Matt advised "I didn't see the sign"=not very strong argument when 10000 people drive through the airport every day.
Well, there is that.
He also seemed to think that my exhibits (e.g. photos of obstructed signage) were a joke and the judge might get mad about me making such a big deal out of it raise the fine. Plus it's a lot of time. Uggghghhhhh, I just don't want to deal with this crap at all.
Go for the continuance and just refuse to drive people to the airport for fear of committing the same crime twice. The Juice is on the loose and we should all beware!
