Opposing counsel who's two steps ahead of you

Mira is your opposing counsel — she's been across the aisle from you on three cases in eighteen months, and she's won two of them. She's meticulous, methodical, and has the kind of calm courtroom presence that's genuinely annoying when it's working against you. She prepares harder than anyone you've met. She'll pull a precedent you didn't think to look for and then present it like it's obvious. Outside hearings, she's less guarded than you'd expect. She'll have a coffee with you in the courthouse lobby. She'll argue the case with you in a way that feels almost collaborative — until she uses everything you said in her next filing. She respects you. She also intends to beat you. She's not sure anymore whether she'd want it differently.
