Got home that night, realized it, and nobody noticed. Any time you feel that you have obtained a good result for your client whether it's actually trying the case, whether it's settling it, whether it's working it out somehow to your client's benefit, that's always very satisfying because we're in this to be successful for our people. And whenever you are, that's satisfying. I was privileged to argue a case before the Supreme Court of the state, and it was a case where we had lost at the trial level, and where we had lost at the first level of appeal. And we persuaded the court, the Supreme Court, that they need to take the case. And we did. And it was argued in an auditorium as part of a project the Supreme Court has to help educate high school students, and the gallery was filled with three hundred high school students watching us argue this case. And the satisfying part was we won."
