Some of whom i havent seen in a year or two, it seems, but there is a little bit more to my background than what harvey said, and i want to recall it for some of the law students or younger attorneys here because its kind of integral to my life in Public Service. In 1982, im sure we have people who werent born then, i was a law clerk, and its a law clerk and you immediately have to start looking for your next job, which i was, and i had a background in finance and im a cpa, and i thought well, i would be a perfect commercial litigator, so i thought, and i was interviewing with the chicago law firms and to date myself further, the largest law firms then had about 230 partners in the chicago area to show you how things have changed, but i needed litigation experience, i thought and so i applied for the attorney generals honors program, and lo and behold they wanted a fouryear commitment. When youre 27 years old, four years seems like a lifetime and i very much run my hands over that deci

I know that in previous discussions, when the same question has been raised by the public speaker there was comment and im happy to go back and check the records to see what information that was
You have to start looking for your next job, which i was. Financebackground in and i am a cpa and so i said i would be a perfect commercial litigator, so i thought. I was interviewing with the chicago law firms, the large ones. The largest law firms then had 230 partners in them in the chicago area, to show you how things have changed. Wrung my hands on whether or not i wanted to give that much but here i am 30 years later. It has gone by very quickly. I have enjoyed it immensely and would not have traded it for any other opportunities in the world professionally, showing how little i know, which leads me to a Public Service announcement within my Public Service consulnt which is of the fbi, we have 194 oforneys in three branches National Security, cyber law, and the investigative Administrative Law branch. They deal with a large number of issues, just like any corporation would. Have 15 vacancies. There is a rigorous process with a polygraph and a background check. It cant be that har
