Every summer vacation (or, at least, the ability to take the weekend off!) should include a good read. Whether your preference runs toward a memoir with words of wisdom, a review of new technical advancements, issues of strategy, or good-ol’ law school basics, we hope that this issue of Pro Te offers a little something for everyone. In The Three C’s, we gain perspective from a seasoned trial lawyer who has lived in the trenches (and lived to tell about it). His thoughts about three keys to success in the practice of law—Clarity, Credibility, and Conviction—are good touchstones for all lawyers.
