Well I just walked into the office and now have some free time before I begin my new assignment while Sarah is finishing up a quick email so I thought I would do some blogging. The past few weeks have been somewhat hectic here due to one large case in particular. This is the same case with all the emails that I had to sort through and it is extremely time consuming. Like I mentioned before, it is a divorce case involving some stock in a family owned business that has significant value. The ex-wife is a lawyer, but lives in Texas and is not licensed to practice here in Illinois, hence Kent's involvement. Right now we are focusing on creating motions to allow the Respondent (the wife) to display evidence in trial, as she is barred from doing so at the moment. We are also filing motions to continue and a motion for a mental health examination of the Petitioner (the husband) because he suffered from a severe stroke and Kent believes that he is now incapable of tesitfying at trial. There is a deposition tomorrow afternoon at 130 of the husband's brother that Kent said I could go to, so I am pretty excited about that. It's in Monticello and I have my AP English test tomorrow so hopefully I will get out in time!
