Day 2

No, I will not be updating this every single day, but just wanted to add that today I was able to observe court proceedings, and it's just overwhelming to be a small part of something so big. Apparently I am allowed to bring a camera through security, so be sure to check back for photos of the inner workings! Other than that, in between loads of document reading, I also attended a fantastic lecture that was essentially a statistical analysis of the sentences handed down by the ICTY. Statistics aficionados will be happy to know that the sentences do in fact follow a normal distribution.

I can divulge a little more - the defendant my team is prosecuting answered only to Milosevic... Amazing, and definitely motivation to do the best job possible.

  1. Yay for Statistical Analysis! Although, normal is not my most favorite of distributions- rather, it's the Gaussian. (As with my friends, I only prefer German Mathematicians). :P
