Does anyone have dreams that you're still in law school but you've somehow forgotten to go to the most important class and do any of the work? Now it's too late to drop the class and if you fail your life is over so you need to ace the final happening in a few minutes? lol something like this?

Yes. I’ve heard of other people having similar types of dreams.

I've had that dream repeatedly when I first started working

Yes, I have a similar dream where I realize that I somehow don’t have enough credits to graduate and that I have to miss my graduation and my name is just scratched out on the graduation program. 😐 Actually comforting to hear I’m not the only one with that kind of dream.

Mid-year review time.

I handleda very difficult and convoluted succession for a black family. My client was astute and intelligent. We got along great. His family was difficult. Willfully ignorant.

Part of the succession dealt with clawing back $450,000 in insurance proceeds that a niece fraudulent received from the decedent by making herself the beneficiary on policies. A separate attorney was hired to handle that part before I was hired to handle all other matters, including settling a $500,000 debt with the...
