Top Video Conference Moments in the Last Month

The rapid advent of videoconferencing (for me) over the last month has been a game-changer. Here are my top 10 moments:

1. Arguing to the Missouri Supreme Court last week over Webex. It was a challenge to argue to a camera instead of
   at a podium and looking at judges.

2. Starting my Supreme Court argument with the mic off. Whoops. Thankfully they started my time when I started
   talking.

3. Having a judge ask me a question with the mic off too.
4. Not being able to find my timer on the video to see how much time I had left.
5. At dinner with my family: right after I lament about the declining stock market, my brilliant son Jordan
   (graduating high school this year) casually mentions he bought zoom stock 4 weeks before the pandemic hit. Why
   didn’t he tell me then?

6. Seeing all my coworkers in zoom calls – and appreciating and missing them.
7. Doing Zoom training of my employees. I have done two sessions where I am able to share my screen about how to
   work our case management system (Filevine) and intake system. I record the sessions on zoom for employees in the
   future.

8. Having an employee who can never get Zoom to work and I only see his ceiling fan going round and round – even
   after mentioning it numerous times. I think he just sets his phone on his desk.

9. Doing marathon zoom meetings to write and edit a 130 page Supreme Court brief and prepare for oral argument.
10. Zooming with family members to catch up on their quarantine.

Here’s a funny SNL skit on Zoom meetings:
