Big news for me!!

[Kyung]

Well, I applied to the Federal Court for a pro tem position, and I have been hired. I'm very excited.

What does this mean? Well, probably not that big a deal. I will only be filling in if they need coverage for a regular reporter. But we'll have to see how it goes.

I plan on continuing to freelance with the agencies that I usually work for. But this will be an opportunity to look at freelance v. court from a first-hand perspective. I'll share my experiences if you're interested. Probably even if you're not interested.

Congrats!! That is cool!

There's a couple of reporters on another board that are Federal reporters and they LOVE it. Sounds like they're sorry they didn't make the move sooner. Gee, if you get an officialship, B-E-N-E-F-I-T-S!!!

Hey Kyung, I'm a federal reporter here in New York City, and if you need help with anything let me know. Congratulations on getting the position.

[Patricia Babits]

You'll do fine. Some women from my school were working in Federal Court when they were in qualifiers. You're an experienced reporter!

[Kyung]

You guys are scaring me.

[Patricia Babits]

Good luck! Hope you like it.

I haven't worked in Federal Court. From those who have, I've heard it's very controlled, more so than in state courts. I also heard the material is interesting. The other thing I was told is it's like the hardest lit material you ever did in school.
