Amicus Curiae
Story written on April 16, 2013 by justkeepswimming.
"Jailbirds?" Tina asked. "Because that’s where your client will be headed after we’re through.
"The burden of proof is on you," Bette shrugged. "Those who can, do. Show me what you’ve got."
Tina narrowed her eyes towards Bette, wondering if that was a not so subtle dig at her position in academia. ‘Those who can’t, teach’ remained unspoken. If so, how did she even know that she teaches law?
"I learned a little about you during discovery," Tina said. "Sounds like you’ve been doing a little extracurricular investigation of your own."
"When possible, I like to know what motivates my opponents," Bette said. "I can’t help but wonder where your charming Southern accent disappeared to, though. You sound like a California girl."
"You have done your research," Tina’s curiosity was piqued. "I’ll have to cast my mind back on how you could possibly know I have an accent."
Bette leaned in to ensure no one else would hear.
"I would love to hear you whisper in my ear with that accent," Bette said quietly.
"Don’t get your heart set on it," Tina replied. "Not only have I managed to lose the accent, but you’re not really my type."
"You have a type?" Bette asked. "Meek and mild mannered perhaps?"
"I prefer my social acquaintances to be a little more down to earth," Tina returned. "Grounded in reality rather than caught up in their own self importance."
"If you ever proposition me again, you’d better be prepared to follow through," Bette said quietly. "No one likes a tease."
"Well for future reference, I do like to be teased," Tina said. Bette Porter could go fuck herself if she thought she could get away with chastising her about an off handed comment that was only intended to throw her off balance. "But you’re not likely to ever need that information."
"Order in the court," the Bailiff announced. "Judge Sarah Robinson presiding."
Bette stepped behind the table where her client was and instructed him to stand as the judge entered. Their morning in court had begun.
*********
Court was in recess for the day. Tina was happy with how well it had gone. She ran through a couple of things in her mind as she packed away her papers. Bette was a talented attorney, no doubt about it. But talent only went so far in defending someone who was guilty.

Wow, I didn’t know this was your story. I loved the last one. This one looks like it’s going to be great too. Tina seems a lot more self assured and appears to be hard to impress. Bette has her work cut out for her.

I loved the original and im loving this version, as well. I must admit i didnt know it was you. Although, i was curious by the cryptic authors note. However, i decided there was some reasoning on your part to remain anonymous. It definitely added to the mystique. Thanks and im looking forward to seeing where you take this.
This is interesting and like it. Please post more, thanks!
