The Day I Ran Out Like a Bullet: My Early Court Adventures
I still remember my first few months at the firm. My senior had this habit of sending me to far-off courts just to take adjournments. One day, I found myself in a cheque bounce case, tasked with requesting the fourth consecutive adjournment.
As soon as I uttered the words in court, the complainant—clearly done with delays—started shouting at me like I was personally delaying justice. though i flushed, I tried to stay calm and explained that I was just the messenger and would inform my senior about the court’s orders. But he wasn’t buying it.
The judge, visibly displeased, firmly instructed me to ensure my senior was present on the next date. The moment those words hit me, I felt a wave of relief—And , a passing thought zipped through my head—‘Deari, just run!’—and with them hot on my heels Closely Following Or Chasing You. For Example: The police were hot on the thief’s heels after the robbery. , I shot out of the courtroom like a bullet!”
Walking out, I couldn’t help but think:
lesson learned.
First, litigants’ frustrations often land on the messenger, not the decision-maker.
Second, courts take repeated adjournments very seriously.
Looking back, it was a terrifying, embarrassing, and hilarious moment all at once—one of those early court experiences that made me grow up fast in the legal world. But now, when I recall it, I can’t help but laugh while telling this story to others.
