>> I love being able to help people solve problems.
I love being able to interact with the people on the other side of the case.
I love being able to interact with my clients.
I love to be able to learn about different businesses or industries and how they do things.
And I love to teach.
When we say teach, if you're a trial attorney or a litigator, as I am,
you're really teaching your case to the other side and to the Judge,
just like a teacher would, and hopefully they will learn what you're having to say.
But at the same time, you have to learn what the other side is saying.
And by doing that you can solve problems.
To the extent that Workers' Compensation is such a specialty in Pennsylvania, in fact,
the Workers' Compensation section
of the Pennsylvania Bar Association I believe is the largest single section in terms
of having our meeting, all getting together with a seminar every year
with the Judge's and practitioners.
It's very organized.
But we can agree to disagree but there's a lot of civility and collegiality involved.
And I have made friends and acquaintances in all these counties,
and to me that's a wonderful satisfaction that we can be in court and arguing our cases
and doing what needs to be done without hard feelings, and we can walk outside the courtroom
and we can go and have a sandwich and have a fine time.
