As I approach my 10-year anniversary in the practice of law, I am amazed by how things have changed in just this small amount of time. Most of our filings and settings are done electronically, our statutes and case law are available on smartphones, and exhibits are published in the courtroom via iPads. But even with all the advancements that have made our profession more efficient, our job to uphold the reputation of lawyers has not gotten easier. When I entered the practice of law, I had several great mentors who showed me the ropes. They were respectful, hard-working, ambitious, and generous with their service, time, and advice. They were involved in local bar associations and organizations, and they encouraged me to get involved and to find a place where I could serve others.
