Contact her at lisaacs@orrick.com. A Code of Ethics To Live By I began my legal career by accident in 1985. I was a recent high school graduate, and my primary goal was to score a paycheck. My first job was as a girl Friday working for a solo practitioner. I could type, take shorthand and answer the phones. I had zero knowledge about the legal field, but I had a passion for learning. 30 years later, I can reflect and identify 10 rules I've lived by that have proven invaluable both on and off the job. Doing so allows you to navigate through tough situations and handle conflict in a manner that will support the positive brand you wish to develop and maintain. Most important, we are people first and second. TREAT EVERYONE WITH RESPECT. Hold high standards and conduct yourself appropriately. LEAD BY EXAMPLE. This means more than having 500+ LinkedIn connections. Get to know people both within and outside your organization. TAKE THE TIME TO DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS. We can never know too much, and there are always others from whom we can learn. BE CURIOUS, ASK QUESTIONS AND LEARN NEW THINGS. 1 2 3 4
