Personal Note
What I have come to appreciate most about practicing workers’ compensation is that it is a niche area of the law with a relatively small community, such that you quickly become familiar and develop relationships with members of the Applicant’s Bar, other defense counsel, and Workers’ Compensation Judges at the Appeals Boards at which you routinely appear. Your reputation means a great deal in this arena.
Before attending law school, I served as a high school English teacher for Los Angeles Unified School District for three years. I had been recruited from New England, where I was born and raised. Moving to Los Angeles and teaching in the inner city was a bit of a culture shock, but I think I grew more as a person during those three years than at any other time during my life.
