I'll end this first day here with notes of hope.
On Wednesday, I watched my kids in the opening round of the LA County high school #mocktrial competition. I'm their coach, and, friends, they were strong, professional, earnest, smart, funny, civil, curious.
Yesterday, at the #lawschool we mooted with two brilliant clinic students before they argue in the 9th Circuit next week for our client and his constitutional rights in prison. They're sharp, and the cause is just.
The kids are alright.
