hi, i'm matt dolman of the dolman law group.i'm a clearwater personal injury attorney. a question that many consumers are faced withis "how do i find the best personal injury attorney?" that's a good question, butlet me start off by telling you what you should not do. do not pick an attorney based solelyon a billboard, television, or radio advertisements. the reason being is that this does not tellyou the quality of the attorney. in fact, many law firms are little more than settlementmills, where paralegals and legal assistants run the majority of the cases. you never getto meet your attorney, or rarely. this is a generalization. not every accident attorney is likethat which advertises, but many are. what you should look for is online resources. lookat legal directories. find out what kind of
awards this attorney has won. look at theirreviews. go online to google and see other members of the community have reviewed thisattorney. what kind of reviews do they have? keep in mind their will always be negativereviews on anyone, but what do the majority of the reviews tell you? is the lawyer accessible?are they knowledgable? are they competent? have they tried cases before? you can't findthat out by looking at a billboard, or listening to a television or radio commercial. thisisn't a beauty contest. you get one bite at the apple. you have one chance to hit yourcase out of the park. do your research and be careful out there. thanks again for visitingour youtube channel. i greatly appreciate your time. look forward to seeing you soon.click on our button here to subscribe to our

because there are things that you shoulddo and there are some things that you shouldn't do. we're happy to help you with thosethings. i invite you to give us a call and findout if we can help. thank you.
2009 margaret brent award recipient, thehonorable arnette hubbard. born in arkansas, on her grandparents' farm,judge arnette hubbard recalls that she had an instinctual interest in justice.her mother's belief in the golden rule, her grandfather's desire to see themerging of god's law and man's law, and the landmark decision of brown versusboard of education all contributed to her gravitation towards the legalprofession. judge hubbard began her career in 1969 as an attorney for thelawyers committee for civil rights under law. while her career progressed toprivate practice and eventually the bench, her passion for civil rights,particularly voting rights, continued
throughout her career. she served as theonly female member of the chicago board of election commissioners for eightyears. during her tenure, she ensured greater access to the voting processthrough aggressive voter recruitment programs and "desert fax"- a program todeliver absentee ballots to overseas military personnel. in 1992, she waselected president of the association of election commissioners of illinois, and,two years later, served as an official monitor in an american delegation toobserve the first south african election conducted after apartheid was abolished.she was also a member of the united states presidential observer delegationto the historic 1995 elections in haiti,
and was appointed as a judge in thecircuit court of cook county in the law jury division in 1997. elected the following year byeighty-five percent of voters and retained in 2004, judge hubbard continuesto serve on the bench. as the first woman attorney elected to the presidency ofthe national bar association, the nation's largest african-american lawyerorganization, judge hubbard testified before the senate judiciary committee insupport of justice sandra day o'connor's nomination to the supreme court. in oneinstance, the organization prepared to send a delegation to meet with thesecretary of state and other officials
of the white house. the members, all male except for her, suggested that a man lead the delegations, since all of their meetings wouldbe with men. she queried whether they should also hire a white man to lead theteam since all the government officials would be white. in the end, arnette hubbard led that delegation towashington. judge hubbard was the first woman electedas president of the cook county bar association, the nation's oldest african-american bar association. since then, eight other women have risen to thatposition, and she has been inducted into their hall of fame. judge hubbard'saccomplishments, while impressive, do not
fully convey the essence of her fiery,yet nurturing, spirit. despite her trial schedule and various community serviceactivities, she makes time to host law interns in her courtroom for lunch. these visits introduce the youngsters tothe court and enable her to encourage them to develop their networks early andto think of ways to incorporate service into their futures as busy attorneys.judge hubbard uses the vast network she has developed to help women attorneys, asshe has said, find ways around, over or through the hurdles in their careers. shealso makes time to speak to students at her alma maters, southern illinoisuniversity and john marshall law school.
citing her appreciation for theadvancement of the democratic principles of our system of law, judge hubbard helpedform the illinois commission on the fiftieth anniversary of brown versus board ofeducation, and hopes its vision will endure to see brown at 100. in ways bothlarge and small, judge hubbard has demonstrated a professional achievement, acommitment to serve, and an understanding that women with successful careers havean obligation to encourage and assist the women who follow in their paths. inrecognition of her unwavering devotion to the rule of law and the women whopractice, the aba commission on women in the profession is proud to present its2009 margaret brent women lawyers of
achievement award to the honorablearnette hubbard.
i’m susan mainzer. my job as a mediatoris to make your life easier by helping you work together to solve special education issues.i’m often chosen for mediation when there is conflict, when people feel stuckand when emotions are raw. and i specialize in helping you to end your dispute and finda solution so that you can move on with your lives and concentrate on what matters – meetingthe education and life-skill requirements of a student with special needs.now, a mediator is not a judge. a judge listens to both sides, then makes a decision and ordersthe parties to take one action or another. a mediator helps the participants workthings out to come to their own solution, one that they all agree on voluntarily.as a mediator, i'm non-judgmental and i'm
respectful of your needs. i model deep listening, and when the timing is right, i ask probing questionsdesigned to help all the participants see different perspectives and possibilities.when i work with you in your individualized education plan meeting, i keep the sessionfocused on developing a plan. i also seek input from all the parties because eachof you has pieces of the puzzle that will lead to a solution.in mediation, you work together as long as that’s productive, and i also use separatemeetings, just one-on-one with me, to help you be frank about what’s getting inthe way and how you see you might be able to get unstuck. in over 20 years ofmediating special education
needs, i've helped people solve many difficult cases, and i bring that experience to youto help you solve the issues you are experiencing. and i love what i do.you’re doing such important work – supporting a student with special needs. in my work asa mediator i see courage, caring, competence, commitment, and for such a great cause.it’s my honor to be of service to create an agreement that will work, will stick andwill help. i’m susan mainzer.

hi i'm emma and today thanks to studentedge i'm here at the supreme court gardens tofind out exactly what it's like to be a lawyer. now we've all seen them on tv oncsi, law and order and i'm guessing you're probably thinking it's a prettyglamorous job bringing hardened criminals to justice saving the world one case at a time. buti'm going to guess that being a lawyer involveds a little more than what we seeon tv and today i'm catching up with a real-life lawyer matthew to find outwhat it's all about so come on, let's go meet him.
the image of the legal professioncreated by tv shows is certainly heroic and while element of this can be true the on-screen stories represent thesmallest tip of the iceberg in terms of the real work done by actual lawyers. emma, matthew. pleasure to meet you. i've got somequestions i'd love to ask you about being a lawyer. excellent well why don't we come overhere we'll have a chat about it so, emma what would you like to know?matthew i'm here today because i'd love
to know what it's really like being alawyer i'm guessing it's probably not quite the same as what wesee on tv. no it's not just the highlight reel all the intrigue. the majority of thework of a lawyer is actually spent in the office, sometimes long hours and it'sresearching, it's writing, it's meeting with clients and talking to other lawyersabout how to find the best way forward for a client, so it's not the everythingyou see on tv. not quite those intense court battles, huh?
look they come up from time to time butthey're definitely not the majority of what you see going on at all. what was it that made you decide thatyou wanted to be a lawyer? i decided i wanted to be a lawyer because i wantedto help people and law fundamentally is about helping people. alright matt it's now time for youto give us the edge, i've got three questions the first question is what qualities or characteristics makesomebody a good fit to be a lawyer? i think attention to detail, a passionfor the law and being a people person.
would you say that it's possible forsomebody to actually do some work experience with a lawyer before theydecide to become one? a lot of films will allow high schoolstudents to come in for a day or even a week to do work experience through thehigh school programs so they can experience and see what it's like in thelegal office and how it works. quite often you have to set that up through acontact or someone you know or you can go through the law society they can quiteoften put teachers and students in contact with a lawyer that can take awork experience person because it is really important to get to see what itwould be like before you go into it. the
other thing is there are so many differentpractices of law and specialities that each of them is quite different and justbecause you find that one doesn't work for you another one might be something thatyou're really interested in. and finally, if you could change one thingbut still end up where you are today what would you have done differently? i think the one thing i would have done differently is find out more about thejob and more about how to get into those roles in the legal profession earlier. i'm really happy with where i got to andthe work that i do, but
what i have found is i probably couldhave got there maybe quicker or without with bit less effort if i foundout more about it earlier. well thanks for your time today i really appreciate it. just one last thing um, i got thisparking ticket... well i'm a lawyer and city of perth is rightthere i'm sure we can sort it out it'll be fine. as you may have suspected being a lawyerinvolves far more than what you see on tv. the biggest part of your job is to makesure you provide your clients with
expert legal advice and assistancethrough what can often be stressful and traumatic situations. and remember whatmatt said to be a successful lawyer you've got to have excellentcommunication skills so, to get involved log on to studentedge.com.au andfollow the links
