The Fulton School
This week at Riezman Berger I had the opportunity to see two court cases. On Tuesday morning, I followed a litigation attorney into court for a case management discussion with the prosecuting attorney and judge. Luckily, both the lawyers were okay with me going back to the judges chambers with them where I got to meet Hon. Richard Stewart. In the meeting, they settled on mediating in 90 days to try to come to a compromise. If the mediation doesn’t settle anything, they’ll follow up with a jury trial in December. The case itself has to do with a man moving into a neighborhood where his next door neighbor’s three dogs bark their heads off. The man called the cops multiple times on the dogs and ended up filing a lawsuit to get the women to get rid of two out of three of their dogs. The attorney at Riezman Berger is the defendants attorney and he is trying to settle the case without costing his client too much money and not have the lawsuit result in sending the women’s dogs to the pound.

Ruthie, it is so cool that you got to sit in on court cases and hear the judge’s verdict first hand! Did it feel intimidating to be in court and meet lawyers/attorneys and a judge? Also is there a difference between a lawyer and attorney or are they like the same thing?
