A Process Evolving Into a Technique

This process takes much more effort than one would imagine. I sit here in the new school library, about an hour and a half into my session, where the desk are oversized and the librarians are mere middle-men from the top about the message of even having packaged food sitting on these desk. Its understandable, its a new building with new furniture, it still has the shiny gloss and new smell. Either way, I'm at a road block on my path to writing a legal brief. It is nothing more than a "zero" draft where grades do not exist but extensive scrutiny is standard. It is used as a tool to help students get started on writing and provide feedback on whether or not we are headed in the right direction. Currently, I feel as though I'm discombobulated, turned around, facing the wrong direction. Everything around me looks exactly the same. Am I in a house of mirrors? Where is that light ahead of that will guide me in the right direction towards word vomiting a legal brief. I apologize if my words depict a certain childish tone, I'm merely attempting to extract an idea, thought, or opinion on the matter at hand. Criminal Procedure, 4th Amendment Rights, Illegal Search and Seizure, Legitimate Expectation of Privacy, Standing. I have that grasp of my topic, what to argue, how to argue, and for the most part, how to organize it. Unfortunately, the rock that is this topic has found itself stuck in a ditch atop the hill equivalent to Mount Whitney. Did I get it stuck up in the Sequoias? Maybe my "rock" is actually Half Dome. Doesn't seem like its going to be moving anywhere fast. Of course, its not necessarily the end of the world to turn something in that is as bare bones as Lindsey Lohan on her drug run. But what use will I get out of my conference with my professor when all she has to look at is a blank piece of paper. My issue begins with just that, where do I begin? What does my first sentence say? What will make the most sense to the Judge (in this case, my professor)? Will she formulate the opinion that my written "zero" draft work is inferior to the prisoner brief's she receives at her job? A striving, starving, struggling, law student attempting to muster up a few legal words to form a brief, creating a document that looks and sounds worst than an uneducated prisoner trying to salvage his life. Definitely Possible, but highly improbable. Lets just hope that isn't the case and I pull out a masterpiece like Mozart's Requiem - that was amazing.

Now, I must digress... On to Mr. William B. Mitchell... Hello Mr. Mitchell, I am your fake defense attorney, I will be writing a Memorandum of Points and Authorities in support of granting the Motion to Suppress evidence seized incident to warrantless search.

Boom. HELP!
