F. Lee Bailey is an attorney from whom I learned the most about how to be an effective trial attorney. I read all his books, and especially practiced his tips for cross-examination of witnesses.
Then he represented OJ Simpson and broke some of his own rules, such as always know the answer before you ask the question in court. I was surprised when he was asking questions that were not answered in a manner supportive of his client. Yet, I was not the expert, he was.
This article about his life, after learning about his recent death is insightful. Every attorney has good and not-so-good sides to their experience, and even more so, F. Lee Bailey. I am sure he could explain the reason for his actions that led to a contempt ruling, and I am sure he was used as a lesson to all attorneys by the Judges who harshly disciplined him. Nonetheless, there is much to be learned from this man and his books.
Every workplace around the world is in crisis or finding ways to change. You are not alone. Allow the crisis to push you outside your comfort zone into the creative zone as John Maxwell says.
One printing company changed the use of its equipment to make face shields for hospitals. They created a design, obtained approval from the hospitals and promptly kept their employees working diligently to make 5000-10,000 face shields each day!
Don't give up, create!
The bully tried to claim his acerbic, sarcastic, patronizing and sometimes demeaning behavior was the result of his ADHD condition as an adult. The Ninth Circuit court of appeals saw through this facade and found he did not have a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act. A police officer was treating others unkindly, repeatedly, he bullied them and the employer took action against him. Do you believe this case was decided rightly? SHARE and like with your comment.

Today I am giving back to the community by presenting under the direction of ADL and OC Jewish Bar Association before the administration and faculty of Mariners Elementary School to talk about bullying in the school climate. This is an excellent school, so giving them useful tips has caused me to really do my homework! I am thankful for the opportunity to be of service again.
