-: My name is Thomas Gregory Sprankling
and I'm a attorney at Wilmerhale, a Senior Associate.
I think the thing to do is to think about
how you can be a better writer.
That's something that will never go out of style for lawyers
because that's a lot of what we do.
I think trying to find people to learn from
is really important.
That's one of the benefits I've had in my career.
I've had a number of mentors both at the firm,
you know Justice Kennedy,
people I've worked for who are really good writers
and are really smart people.
And seeing them and seeing the way
they think about the world,
and seeing them actually correct your mistakes sometimes,
because you will make them,
is tremendously valuable.
So, having that kind of mentorship
is something I would strongly suggest people reach out for.
