The Legal Clinic Blues

I'm in a clinic that requires that I put in 240 hours to get credit for the class. This is really hard to do, considering the fact that my clients don't always want to show up on time or at all. Every week I have to report to my professor regarding my progress and I dread it because I have to explain away my lack of hours. This week I came into that meeting 15 minutes late.

Professor: I was worried you weren't going to make it.

Russell: I am so devoted to this clinic that I decided to walk a mile in my clients' shoes...so I showed up late.

That was, by far, the high point of the meeting.
