As attorneys, we strive to be successful, appear confident, and bolster confidence in our clients. But too often, these “professional” traits saddle us with the reputation of being arrogant and unfeeling. This reputation is bad for our profession and bad for our clients who, after all, are individuals that came to us for help.

Responses poured in and ranged from utter fiascoes to one’s pride being taken down a peg or two. We were pleased also with everyone’s candor; humility; good humor; and appreciation that in the law, as in life, we often learn most from our mistakes. -
