We had double Contracts today (because our Property professor is out of town and we needed to make up the Contracts class we'll be missing on 7/4.

In the afternoon class, we discussed the IVF cases from yesterday, and the professor broke us up into four groups--one was a legislative subcommittee considering IVF legislation; the other three were various special-interest groups.

And, of course, I was chosen spokesman of the Catholic Laypersons' Leadership Organization, and had to argue for a position that is diametrically opposed to my own. It was a pretty cool experience, especially since I got professorial kudos after class--he asked if I was actually a Catholic, and said that I had pretty much nailed the position's actual arguments.

It gives me some hope that I might not be as ineffective an advocate as I have feared. I'm kind of looking forward to trying out for moot court in the spring.
