Dear Reader,
Consider the notion that the only thing to arrive in the courtroom before us is our reputation. In practice, our style of communication is a foundational element of our reputations. Words said today – and the way those words are said – will have an impact on those around us and will impact the way others perceive us going forward.
A recently published opinion stands firmly on the requirement for civility and respect in the tone and tenor of discourse from members of the bar.
