Sooo... I'm gonna brag. Again. Because fall semester sucked so very much and spring was apparently much MUCH better. Got my comments back on my appellate brief this morning.

This is really quite an impressive appellate brief. You’ve done an extremely good job on this brief. Your treatment of the three issues is clear and persuasive. The writing is excellent. Your sentences are very well constructed; they are concise and easy to read. That is particularly impressive in light of the loosely structured tests for some of the issues. You also make excellent use of topic sentences; your rules are consistently formulated in a light favorable to your client; and you make excellent and persuasive use of favorable case language. Moreover, the brief is well-structured. The organization is clear and logical, and you’ve done a very nice job with making the assertion-headings clear and persuasive. In addition, the research and analysis are outstanding. You’ve done an outstanding job of suppporting your arguments with authority and selecting cases and language that best support your client’s theory of the case. I am especially impressed by the sophistication of your harmless error analysis. Finally, the citation is very good, and the brief contains only a few scattered surface errors. In short, as an appellate judge I would find this brief exceptionally persuasive and a pleasure to read. Once again you have produced a truly outstanding piece of work. Grade: A+

I'm going to spend the rest of the day vigorously patting myself on the back.
