Struck

According to the rumors, Britt Clark holds the all-time Baylor record for striking the most barristers in a school moot court competition. In last spring's competition however, it was me who struck the most barristers. The moot court officers asked for strikes without telling us what the criteria was. I asked about it, but nobody was able to give me a standard. So I made up my own. I struck law buddies, the leaders of every organization I was a member of, upper quarter students I had helped out in the past, and anyone who joked with me about being partial. Nobody else came close to the number of strikes I made.

This time, the moot court officers gave criteria for strikes. It wasn't nearly as demanding a standard, so I cut back my strikes considerably. Even so, my team remains the difficult one to match with barristers. I learned that my partner and I received the most strikes from barristers, by far. We must have a lot of good friends and/or major enemies among barristers. I think I'd be aware of major enemies.
