Moot Court...AH!

     Tomorrow is Moot Court, which is why I haven't put up anything about California or Louisiana yet. I promise those are coming soon.  Anyway, two judges from Maine are coming down to judge our mock debate thing.  We've got a public versus private land rights case that we're arguing.  The landowners sued the Town of Wells because they say that the public doesn't have the right to recreate on their beach (because Maine is a low water mark state).  Basically they're suing based on unconstitutional takings and they want to be compensated for the public use of the beach for recreation (fishing, fowling, and navigating are already exceptions).
     I have discovered through this preparation process that I definitely shouldn't be a lawyer.  Not that I was planning a law career, but if I had ever entertained the notion, this pretty much kills it. Gah. I will stick with the science stuff thanks. I don't get interrupted by samples in a microscope. Anyway, moot court is tomorrow from 2pm-8pm.  Wheee!
