Lawyers Journal

As we see more of a "graying" of our profession, more seasoned
attorneys will soon be turning over the reins of the profession to
younger, up-and-coming lawyers.
To prepare for this shift, the more seasoned attorneys have the
responsibility to nurture and show our less seasoned colleagues the
way.
I am confident that as you read this message, you will remember
those persons who assisted you as you began your career and how
important their mentorship was to your professional journey. We
need to honor the legacy of those who have helped us in the past
while carrying on that tradition in the future.

dive under her desk and wait out the chaos of swirling winds,
shattered windows and flying debris.
