Baylor Law Students Workin' It
Our Supreme Court brief in Kimbrough was finished in plenty of time, thanks to the efforts of Michael O'Hear, Dustin Benham, Matt Acosta, and the Federal Defenders team led by Henry Bemporad. You can find it here-- it is the second on the list, and if you click on the link it will download.
Here's the impressive part: Pages 1 and 2 (the start of the summary of the argument) were written by Baylor student Matt Acosta. I asked him to take a stab at it, and his writing was so good I put it into the brief. Even after extensive editing by three top appellate attorneys (Henry Bemporad, David McColgin and Brett Sweitzer), Mr. Acosta's part remained almost unchanged.
As those who have worked on such things will understand, that's pretty impressive.

Thanks for the kind words. I found the whole experience insightful. Everyone should be able to do this kind of stuff.
Love,

So we all share something in common: we write a foreign language. I read it--it's very tidy--but I have only the slightest idea what your English dialect might be about. Good luck with that.
