My First Court Appearance with More Voice :)
If you don’t get the title, there are court appearances where the judge isn’t there so you never get to say anything and the case is deferred to some other date, court appearances with voice where all you get to say are "I’m from the Office of Legal AId" and the case is deferred to some other date bec. the fiscal has a sore throat (like my very first one!) and now, a court appearance with actual speaking parts! I actually got to object! Woohoo! :D This is the stuff dreams are made of, I’ve waited all my life to say "Objection your Honor!" in a real court!
So here I went to San Mateo municipal court (which I found with much help from Catsy!! 
) and this was all to appear for the trial of my client accused of grave slander. Anyways since I can’t discuss it much let’s just say I got to OBJECT on an alleged fact that the star witness was saying she was, which the former law intern and the prosecution counsel stipulated was subject to proof during the trial. I’m quite proud of myself, despite the shaky voice, flashes of recit moments going through my head. :) but there! i finally got to object, the heart of all litigation! next to cross pala. hahaha! well, cross ko na si Madam Witness next time, lagot siya sa katarayan ko. hehe! ay sabi pala ni Sir Te sa OLA Orientation be nice and smile… and don’t shout if you can help it. haha!
But nothing beats a first appearance, kahit less voice lang yun… meron din high kanina but it was alright lang, not euphoric or anything. =)
