An Overdue Explanation

May 25th, 2011 by Wordsman

There have been some complaints recently about our newest Friday feature.  Rest assured that I am not simply jerking you around (at least, not intentionally).  There are, so far, two separate storylines, with two separate sets of characters.  They are, however, not entirely unrelated; both take place in the city of Crescenton and its surrounding suburbs, which make up Laragheny County, Ohio.  They may be thought of as two patches, largely discontiguous up to this point, but perhaps some day to be woven together.  As my sewing skills are not the greatest, those of you out there who are expert quilters will have to bear with me.

It seems likely that some of the confusion may be due to the occasionally inelegant way in which I have chosen to divide the stories (story?) up between different weeks.  As a solution, I offer a new page (listed above as “WSPS”) which contains all the entries so far, for those who would like to get caught up and for those who would like to see if they can guess where this is going.

    Thank you. This is helpful.

    I know a little about law clerks, by the way and have a couple of suggestions:

    1. The guy who says it’s all about schmoozing would NOT be the supervisor of the law clerks. He exists, but the firm wouldn’t out him in charge (and, as a confirmed schmoozer, he would be interested in time with clients, not law clerks).

    2.The supervisor of the summer program (probably a senior associate but maybe a junior partner) would earnestly tell the law clerks that hard work and diligence pays off in the end. See Alger, Horatio.

    Also, if this is a big firm, Peter would be making a lot of money and could afford nice lunches.
