Coming from private practice, I found that mindreading was never necessarily one of the mandatory skillsets for success. Clients always told you want they wanted. Loudly, repeatedly, perpetually, urgently. Some mindreading of the judge could be helpful, but that skill was fleeting, especially for those who subscribe to the “legal realism” theory of jurisprudence. In private practice, mindreading would never triumph over knowledge, good preparation, hard work, stellar communication and a little bit of luck.

For the past 20 years, the American Bar Association has organized an annual ABA Day in Washington, D.C., to advocate for our system of justice and to advance the rule of law. It asks each state bar association to send bar leaders to meet with that state’s congressional delegation as part of the event. The focus of this year’s ABA Day, held April 25 – 27, 2017, was to request federal funding for the Legal Services Corporation, and to advocate for legislation authorizing public-private partnerships with the Department of Veterans Affairs to improve access to justice for homeless veterans.
