Live Streams Of Interest
First, you can watch the Judiciary Committee hearing on the nomination of Miranda Du (Boalt '94) to be a United States District Judge for the District of Nevada and Michael Fitzgerald (Boalt '85) to be a United States District Judge for the Central District of California.
Second, I have been watching the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray with some frequency here. If anyone is interested in litigation at all, then I strongly recommend watching the trial live for even a few minutes. There have been multiple instances of both effective and ineffective lawyering. One example that jumps out at me is the cross-examination of a medical monitoring device manufacturer. The defense ended the cross by getting the witness to admit that the only difference between the model used by Dr. Murray and other models is the lack of an audible beep. The prosecutor then rose on redirect and asked, "that's a pretty big difference, yes?" "Huge difference." Very effective. Also note how this judge is managing the courtroom. Lawyers are immediately interrupted when they start on speaking objections or when they start questioning a witness before reaching the podium. Those may seem like trivial matters, but they make the difference between a trial that progresses on a tight schedule and one that goes off the rails (e.g., OJ's criminal trial).
Back to your regularly scheduled plumbing woes.

You should also watch the hearings to see Michael Fitzgerald, Boalt '85, for his confirmation hearing for C.D. Cal.
12:55, right as you posted that I edited the original post to reflect that. I've also linked to my previous posts on both nominees.
FREE MICHAEL!
