One of the things I have to do for the district court is go through the stacks of pro se orders. Apparently, people in jail don't like to be there and they have plenty of free time. Which is a combination which leads them to write letters to the court trying to get out of jail. And this stack of letters ends up on my desk.
Aside from the fact some of these guys really can write motion, its not the most exciting thing on the planet. So when going through the seemingly endless stack, it was nice running into a letter that instead of being addressed to the judge or just the court, it was addressed to me. "Dear Law Clerk..."
Hey, it's nice to be appreciated. Even if I told the guy no, he had to stay in jail.

Smarter than the average convict. Then again he may just have been through this before.
"Law clerk" I can think of many more appropriate titles...
How is it that this particular convict knows what goes on inside the legal system?
A former law student himself perhaps?
aw, that's kind of cute.
