Commissioner’s Message: The Amazing Telephone
By Kurt D. Holzer “Colleagues are a wonderful thing – but mentors, that’s where the real work gets done.” — Junot Diaz As I stride toward the well of the court to face the jury and prepare to speak of my client’s cause, I wonder: “These 12 strangers I’ve spent days in front of, do they get it?
