"The old carpenter's advice, "measure twice, cut once," is just as applicable to lawyers as it is to those that swing a hammer. Maybe it's even wiser for lawyers to measure their work three times. After all, our clients are much more important than a piece of wood. It goes without saying that a lawyer needs to always be careful in what they do and choose their words with wisdom."

After 30 years at the helm of the 13th Judicial Circuit Public Defenders office, Julianne Holt plans to step down in January. The first woman elected to head one of Hillsborough’s largest law offices, Holt oversees 123 attorneys who process more 40,000 cases a year. “One of the things I’m most proud of is that the public defender’s office here in Hillsborough County is a truly respected criminal justice partner, and the office is engaged in policy making and policy changes," Holt said. She recalls relationships with judges, law enforcement, prosecutors, and the Hillsborough County Commission as a huge accomplishment. Read all about her three decades as a public defender in the Bar News. https://lnkd.in/eKdSKqRQ

Thirteenth Circuit Judge Nicholas Nazaretian recently spoke to the new Cooley Law School students about integrity, professionalism, and ethics during its Tampa Bay campus orientation and Professionalism in Action Program. “As you navigate through your law school career, you will notice going through a transition to becoming lawyer,” said Judge Nazaretian, a Cooley graduate. “Part of that transition will be the ethical aspects of your new career, and the importance of civility and professionalism. Your reputation is essential to being successful as an attorney. You will work years to earn it and it takes just minutes to burn it. You will be challenged in your careers; you will see other attorneys acting unethically and maybe getting ahead. Don’t follow that lead. Once you start down that slope, your doomed. It is easy to be ethical when everyone is watching, the true test will be when you’re alone and maybe no one will find out – except there is always one person that knows. Who? You.” Cooley’s Tampa Bay campus incoming class includes 57% minority enrollment and 27% of students are coming from outside of Florida, according to the law school. https://lnkd.in/eVkC-qFH
