I want to wish all the Mothers a Happy Mother’s Day. In thinking about my Mother, I return to a note I received upon her passing. It came from a very thoughtful, serious and decent judge who likewise is no longer with us. “Mothers are such special people.” Right to the point.

The greatest rewards of my 35 years of law practice have not been financial. This holiday season I am thinking about great judges and practitioners of my past, and how fortunate I was to know them, work with them, and learn so much from them. Judge Porcellino has been gone 20 years now, and I just learned that Ilene Wolf passed away last month. Judge Porcellino possessed the finest judicial instincts and acumen. He provided valuable guidance in the early years of my career. Ilene Wolf was the greatest kind of colleague one could have, and I regarded her as a great friend. This holiday season, the gift is the gratitude I feel for having known them and so many others along the way that gave me so much.

In February, 1986, when I was a wide-eyed optimistic law student, Gerry Spence, one of the most formidable trial lawyers in American history, paid a visit to my law school. His one hour of extemporaneous advice to an assembly of students and faculty served to lay a foundation for what would be my view and understanding of the legal profession, my theory of advocacy, and our obligations as lawyers to the profession and community as a whole. Mr. Spence did not suggest that conforming was the key to success. He urged us to be ourselves- something that was otherwise never suggested in law school (or anywhere else in the mid ‘80’s for that matter).

Mr. Spence was a champion for the downtrodden. He was authentic. He was larger than life. On August 13th he passed away at age 96. I am forever indebted to him.
