today's trip to the sub-courts was quite an eye-opener
a tale of contested applications and corridors filled with legal banter
bar room conversation included many anecdotes from boutique-firm lawyers on running the firm as a business
at big firms we are so insulated
we have the luxury of concentrating on research and transactions while someone somewhere worries about the payroll and the bills
a different perspective but a valuable one nonetheless

by the way, the mee sua at circular road is quite decent
back to work now....
