Will: We lost the appeal.

Alicia: What? When? How do you know?

Will: The chief justice’s clerk. He sets up time for writing opinions. It was an easy “no.”

Will: To be honest, I did, too. 

Alicia: So what do we do now?

Will: Go back to the office. 

Alicia: Well, about the case...

Will: The case? It’s not ours. It’s the legal aid’s.
