Now mostly retired from the active practice of law. My first career was English Professor. I studied medieval and renaissance English Literature, taught literature, film, and composition.

I STAND MORE OR LESS BEHIND IT, BUT I DO NOT SPEAK FOR ANY OTHER LAWYER OR ANY GROUP OF LAWYERS - OR ANYONE ELSE, FOR THAT MATTER.
