We study a case of an employee who has made a ruckus of sorts at a coffee shop&#8230; The shop is called Luck O&#8217;Cup or something like that. It&#8217;s a quaint shop serving the upper-middle class. One of the employees instigated a fight or maybe he demanded better pay. The fight created a loss of revenue; even a bus boy was fired due to the financial loses. I have an unconscious\u00a0understanding\u00a0that this person is me, though this is not conscious to my dream self.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway this is what we are studying in class.<\/p>\n<p>Class is over and, for real, a case is called on this guy and I&#8217;m selected to be one of his defense lawyers. I&#8217;m bitter about this. I&#8217;m not a lawyer and I can&#8217;t make rhyme or reason about the case. Every defense I can think of seems a fabrication; on the other hand, the fellow seems innocent to me. That is, no laws were broken, he just was involved in an argument &#8212; an incident where he became angry and which happened to have some fallout.<\/p>\n<p>The judge, a refined black man, discusses the case. As he does, he is panned by the prosecuting attorneys for being upper class and on the side of the shop. I&#8217;m dressed in a burnt brown suit; then, I notice the judge is wearing green. He mentions the store&#8217;s name&#8230; something clever like Luck O&#8217;Coffee&#8230; I realize everyone is wearing green, including me.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecution begins to lay out there case. Like I said, I&#8217;m very uncomfortable because I can&#8217;t make heads or tails of any legal position. Everything seems made up. I think hard for some kind of argument. Then, I check back in my paper I did for class. I believe that the main thought train of the paper could fit into a substantive argument; it&#8217;s hard to say; it&#8217;s the closest thing I have to a genuine position and I&#8217;m going to have to defend a real man for his freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m in class.
