I like to regard myself as someone who's capable of critical thought, that is to say, who can evaluate claims.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lawyer who makes an impression as credible, competent, and civil is one whose thoughts I'll take seriously.
I consider myself sort of like a pseudo lawyer. Like, I'm convinced I can solve every case and argue my way.
I suppose I have very undesirable traits. I am very critical, which is very undesirable. But it is good from a business point of view.
I do not take to the field to defend myself from certain criticisms. If I do, in this kind of career, it is because I'm very self-critical.
I can be very critical on myself and on other people; I can be very demanding.
I make up my own mind in light of available facts, with my own experience and a sense of personal ethics.
I still give myself the right to be highly critical of others, though.
If, amid the multitude of contending counsel, you have hesitated and doubted; if, when a great measure suggested itself, you have shrunk from the vast responsibility, afraid to go forward lest you should go wrong, what wonder?
I get to advocate issues and ideas that I believe in.
Being critical is not something I like to do. I like to appreciate and inspire.
