CBA Record November-December 2024

over the years, and it’s been a very rewarding experience. I would urge each of you to consider being a mentor. You can change someone’s life for the better. In closing, not only did my mentors teach me about the law, being a litigator, or how to conduct a cross examination, but they also taught me how to be a professional in all respects. Their behavior and conduct inspired and still inspires me. They are shining examples of how lawyers should conduct themselves and how and why they should endeavor to inspire others to perform

in an admirable fashion. As CBA members and leaders, it’s our responsibility to help nurture the next generation of lawyers who will become the leaders of the bar and of our profession. My hope and request is that you too will give the gift of mentorship in your careers that will indeed honor and pay tribute to the legacies of your own mentors. They would be immensely proud of your efforts. May you and your families have a joyous and blessed holiday season. I wish you a happy and healthy New Year.
