Vox "We cannot break bread with you" Prudentia

Won of my colleagues whom I helped moot a couple months ago just won her appeal against the Housing Authority! #AppellateTwitter

I'm so happy for her! Young lawyer, first Appeals Court argument (I think). Just awesome all around!

And yet again, Justice James Milkey keeps his spot as one of my favorite current Appeals Court judges. I just love him.

I think the reality a lot of people who do what I do are loath to acknowledge is that most of the cases we have to take up on appeal are really weak, given which side of the v. we're on.

It's not our fault, but it's still our responsibility and it sucks.

I get all that.

What I don't get is letting those feelings fester into resentment towards the judges, which is something I see way too often.

Me, I try to maintain enough self-awareness to know that I'm always at a disadvantage. I usually expect to lose, so I don't begrudge judges who hand me defeats that, legally speaking, I deserve. All I can do is try my best and hope for better.
