Just a funny nugget from Chicago Lawyer’s monthly Q&A column with appellate lawyer Karen Kies DeGrand:
What is the strangest thing that ever happened to you as a lawyer?
This happened probably about 10 years ago. I was in Springfield for a case that was being argued in the Illinois Supreme Court and our opponent showed up apparently drunk. You almost couldn’t believe your eyes. When you go to the supreme court for an argument the personnel at the court know everybody who’s in the building; they are keeping a very close eye on everything, even pre-9/11. They were cognizant of what shape this guy was in, but ultimately he got up there and he was relatively inappropriate. My thought, at the time, was we better win. But we did, but obviously it was one of those things where I don’t think I will ever see that again.
