Dear New Clerk,

Welcome to the Court! You are making QUITE the first impression. Here are a couple of tips to make your transition a bit smoother:

1. DO NOT tell people that you graduated first in your law school class within the first 5 minutes of conversation. NEWS FLASH: Most of us did, hon'. That's why we're here...

2. DO NOT tell let the following come out of your blowhole again: "Well, you know, I owned a quite a few successful companies in my day before going to law school and so, when one morning I woke up and thought I needed a new diversion, I applied to law school -- har, har."

3. DO NOT assume that all of the women that you are introduced to are secretaries/confidential assistants/assistants/lackeys. Don't be alarmed, but there is already one of your new colleagues calling you "piggy."

Feel free to stop by if you have any other questions.

Sincerely,
C. Erroneous
