Benefits of Losing
In addition, I discuss the importance of recognizing how to benefit from the experience of losing, how to learn from your losses, and the taboo surrounding the subject of losing.
Sir Michael Asks
At one point, Michael Jackson asked me to explain the title to chapter 23 in my book, “Getting a Winning Verdict In My Personal Life: A Trial Lawyer Finds His Soul”: First, Let’s Kill All The Lawyers. As Shakespeare noted in his play, if they get rid of the lawyers, they can establish a dictatorship. It’s the lawyers who are going to prevent that from happening; rule by people not by laws would be the status quo.
The message in the chapter is:
- Aspire to “high professional standards”
- “Willingness to fight for what is right and fair”
- Commitment as “lawyers of conscience”
