Question 1
Which celebrity was on the posters you had hanging on your teenage bedroom wall?
A: Legolas from Lord of the Rings. Not Orlando Bloom. Legolas. You know, with the hair? I had a life-size cardboard cutout. I’m not proud.
Question 2
What is your favorite restaurant and what’s your favorite thing to order there? Cajun
A: Chicken at Le Bilboquet, Spicy Tuna with Crispy Rice at Matsuhisa or a greasy burger from My Brother’s Bar
Question 3
Which rule of evidence do you hate the most and why?
A: 803(16) only because it classifies ancient documents as those prepared before Jan. 1, 1998. I take offense to that on a deeply personal level.
Question 4
What’s your favorite book and why?
A: The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner. I’m in awe of how Faulkner uses several different narrative styles, including stream of consciousness. It is a beautiful and heartbreaking work
Question 5
What’s your favorite movie or TV show?
A: Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Arrested Development (Bob Loblaw’s Law Blog? Kills me every time!)
