- Reflecting on your time at Davis Graham, what was the most valuable lesson you learned?
- Figure out how to practice the way that works best for you. Take what you like from others, avoid what you don’t like, put all that together with your own strengths and weaknesses. I think “authenticity” is the applicable buzzword.
- What are some pro bono or community service experiences that have had a significant impact on your career? What did you learn from these opportunities, and how have they influenced your path?
- The City Attorney’s trial advocacy program and the US District Court’s pro bono panel program. I learned from my mistakes. I learned to do more with less. I had a lot of fun. I gained experience that helped opened doors to work for paying clients.
- What is the biggest difference between working at Davis Graham and being Assistant General Counsel of a Fortune 500 company?
- People. More people = more personalities, more complexity, more process, procedure, and politics, more time and effort spent figuring out how best to communicate with all the people.
- Who are some of the people at Davis Graham that had the greatest influence on you and why?
- This question is a trap. See the first question and answer. There’s no better group of people to help you work towards being the best lawyer you can be.
