Painting the Nails of Lady Justice
I have found myself with a lot of female clients lately, most of whom are locked up. And for a female to be locked-up on a pre-trial basis means that she has been through the system a huge number of times and has likely messed up nearly every chance the court has bent over backwards to give her. These women are tough.
I was in the court lock-up today, having an extended conversation with one of these female clients about what was going on in her complicated case. But after we finished our discussion…she complimented my nail polish. And I laughed.
It just goes to show that, no matter how many times you have cycled through the system or the degree of crap that you have been through in your life…all women still appreciate a good manicure.

Ha! I knew that $15 I was spending every week on my nails was well worth it.
