Bon, Vortex, any Buffista lawyers, what's the World Human Rights Moot Court when it's at home?
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel like Polish isn't really our same alphabet, even though it looks a lot like it. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

paczki = pohn checky ???
That would make sense, wouldn't it?
where the "n"? whyfor languages so weird?
Polish throws in a bunch of diacriticals (over consonants!) that English doesn't use, for one thing.
(Also, it's not exactly an "n" sound, but I can't render it textually. It's more like "puch-ki," if you swallowed a marble in between the "u" and "ch" sounds. Kind of.)
t edit Although now I really think I'm going to say it "pohn-checky." Because it makes me laugh.

ita, a moot court is like debate club or a talent show--it's a way for law students to strut their stuff in a make-believe version of the real thing. The teams are given an invented problem, which they research and prepare arguments for, and then they present it in a trial setting, usually before volunteer lawyers and judges.
I assume the World Human Rights Moot Court is an international moot court competition discussing human rights issues, probably relying on principles of international law.

I, too, am grateful for all the Buffistas who could be there physically for Maria.

Do you know anything about it specifically, though? Is it held in any regard? Does it have any impact on a law student's resume? Anything like that?

Apparently the only place you can get them in Nashville is at Publix
I wonder if Publix has them here....

No.
Probably yes, but probably mostly within the legal education community.
Yes, even getting to enter it is probably competitive, and speaks well for a student's abilities and commitment to human rights.

I have completely sugar-crashed now. I would kill or die for a nap.

I'm also wondering if a law school gets big ups for its team winning, or it's just much of a muchness.
