No, not home back to the US, but home as in “leave for the night”. It’s 9:22 pm right now and I’m taking a coffee break. They aren’t asking or expecting me to work this late but my project is really facinating. I’ll write what I can here, given confidentiality and all.

 We’ve got a big Foriegn Direct Investment project going on here. There are some really big names on our side, a country with newly developed laws on that side, and a contract that has to be drafted in English. Catch is, I’m the only native English speaker on either side!

 What does this mean? I’m drafting a contract that no law student has any business drafting! Still, I’ve got tons of support here and the people at this small firm are really wonderful. What I have for recources on this project right now is: one draft document of our clients desired contract (talking about the original transaction which has had its format revised), three model contracts, and a contract that has been dealing with the other country. Oh, and unlimited access to the laws and treaties of the other country.

No stress, you know. Really interesting stuff though. When I’m done with this I’m going to go out and see some more sites. At least they keep buying me lunch.

Jal ga!
