For First Time in Entire Life, Juice Described as "Graceful and Poised"

Yes, this is The Juice we're talking about. The same Juice who regularly trips over her own feet, talks faster than a Concorde Jet and trips over every other word, and has been spotted clambering through the passenger door of her car to reach the driver's seat. The same Juice who, when giving any type of speech in law school gets all flustered and red-faced and shakes and relies too heavily on her script. This is the Juice who thought she was going to puke the whole time she was waiting for her turn to argue. This is the Juice whose Christian name means "full of grace" or "graceful" but who has succeeded in being one of the biggest damn klutzes the world has known. That Juice.

That Juice was described by the three judges hearing the oral arguments as "graceful and poised."

It's true that these same judges told G that he was so awesome he would be the standard by which they would evaluate everyone else's arguments. It's true they didn't tell me that. But I don't think they told G he was graceful and poised. They told me I was graceful and poised.

And while I'm engaged in this shameless self-promotion, I'll add that my instructor told me I was so skilled that he wouldn't have guessed I was a 2nd-year law student.

I'm so glad I wore my pink suit. I think it helped me look graceful and poised.
