The Supreme Court case has to do with determining the point at which a police officer has to advise a detained person as to his/her right to counsel, and whether statements a detainee made prior to being given the right to counsel are admissible against him at trial. I will basically be getting peppered with questions from nine judges at the same time (same as in the U.S. Supreme Court), which is pretty intimidating. I usually argue my cases in the Ontario Court of Appeal, where there are only three judges on each case.

This sounds like a very interesting case. Sort of like:
Officer: "You're under arrest."
Detainee: "Screw you, screw the world, and screw that dirty Rat Bastard that I just stabbed to death in the bar over there."
Officer: "I was about to advise you of your rights."
Detainee: "I have rights???"
etc.
Sounds like someone out there wants to protect the stupid from themselves.
But that's in large part what makes our countries so great.
I wish I were going to Montreal. I love that city. Unfortunately, my wife has to do a deposition for a medical malpractice case, so we can't make the trip.
If you have time, join the JFC (see general MMA forum thread), and put in your picks. There's still time to get on the undercard. Contact "kingofabuelos". It sounds like you will need a break from the legal stuff from time to time.
