First Monday at Work


Hello everyone, it's Mo here again. I hope everyone is doing great. Today was my first Monday at work and I have to say it was an interesting one. I finally got my U.N. email address (haidaram@un.org), and some internal mail from other sections of the court.

For most of the day, I was going through the live feed of the on-going defense case in the CDF trial. The proceedings are very interesting and exciting. They are quite different from the Common Law system. For example, unlike the common law system, the proceedings are a combination of the common and civil law systems. A lot more hearsay evidence are admissible as truth without much corroboration (it will be hard to otherwise prosecute these cases without allowing some hearsay evidence).

I have a meeting with my boss tomorrow to discuss a plan for the remainder of my time with the court. I am really interested in working with a particular defense team, but my supervisor advised me to wait until I have gotten acclimated to the office first. I have a lot to do tomorrow including going over some trial transcripts and maybe some research and writing. Once again, thank you all and I hope to hear from you all soon.

Mo
