Just when I was thinking the practice of law was stale, boring, and nothing could make it exciting, I had a meeting with clients on Saturday.




They have a dispute with family about a piece of land. The mom brought in some cookies and put them on the conference room table. (I thought she had brought them for her son who came to the meeting, too.)

At the end of the meeting, she said, "These are for you! They are in the shape of the disputed property!"

I excercized a lot of self control (to keep from saying, "You're not serious, are you?") and said, "Uh, thanks." There were several cookies, and they were very good.
