best job in the world....just a few informal thoughts off the cuff
being a lawyer is the greatest thing in the world. you get to help people. you get to surround yourself by people with esoteric knowledge, you learn to be a diplomat, salesman, football and basketball player in areas of finesse, you get to dress well, you get to read all the time !! you get to argue logic and call bullshit on people who think they know it all but don't.. on an offnote. god, i love my boca briefcase i save for special occasions, i love zippin to the courthouse in my showcase sports package TL, i love my custom suits, custom shirts with french cuffs and cufflinks... i love every damn last bit about it !!! i love the stress.. i love knowing at 8 pm at the end of a long day I have brilliantly figured out how to solve problems and better the world by helping my clients one by one.. god, i love my clients.. even the ones that bitch.. i love the mercy and graciousness of district attorneys when they know they have the upper hand.. i love the fact that if there were not lawyers this world would be run by tyrants.. i love the fact that lawyers are the only line of defense against tyranny .. we help the little guy and the big guy and yes sometimes even society.. if i died tomorrow i have been giving the greatest job in the world and i would like to thank all the clients who have entrusted me and all the lawyers mostly district attoneys who worked with me in making this world a better place for us all.. i love it when judges do the right thing .. judges like Mike Mitchell, Billy Mills, Brent Carr, Scott Wisch, Judge Tolle, Neil Pask, Phil Barker, Daryl Coffey, Elizabeth Crowder... in particular.. i love the efficiency of the courts of Dallas County.. I love going to trial.. i love to kick butt and i can take it when i get a butt kicking.. i live for the thrill of finding out who is on that panel, using my brilliance in knowing the verdict just by who makes it to the panel, i love the shit out of walking in court with my whole trial outlined right down to my 4 part close, i love training my lawyers and new lawyers on how to try cases and everything they need to know about DWI that the seminars don't teach you, i love to figure out someone's personality traits by their facial characteristics.. i love it when the right thing happens in trial because people are good at heart.. Craig Watkins kicks ass by the way.. not only as the new DA does he hold the most power of anyone in Dallas he has a big heart.. one of the biggest hearts for his fellow man that I have ever been privilged to witness and he will make this world a better place and god i love the fact that i get to work with his office ! boston legal is cool, the practice rocked.. but mimi coffey's legal life in dallas and fort worth is truly better than the best hollywood writer could write.. thank you everyone.. i pledge always my best.. and of course my heart.. my heart belongs to the cause of justice..
