-: I like always trying to see a way
that we can do better service for more people
and the attorneys coming in and talking about
problem solving towards that mission
to make sure that nobody who's in need of an attorney
would be denied access to justice
because they don't have one
and how do we get creative and streamline the things
that we do so that we can have more ability
to help more people.
And we sit around and have team meetings
so it could be the family court team,
it could be the civil team, parole team.
It could be our management team
and we exchange experiences and try to problem solve
and get some sense of humor going in there
and it's very enjoyable.
It is a very hard job
and some people come to our office
and want to make a full career out of it
and others might come for a couple years of experience
and they'll really get a lot of experience
because there's a lot of cases
and there are a lot of very complex issues on those cases.
So they get a chance to really learn
a lot of lawyering skills.
And yes, pretty often people are in and out
of each other's offices
just sharing information about what happened that day
and sometimes getting a laugh out of each other
just to keep spirits high.
But it's really a great place to work.
I started there before I became the CEO
and I was a senior attorney and practiced in family court.
Then I became the supervising attorney
so it is a very tough job.
