Empathy

We work to understand the lived experiences and perspectives of others and to relate to our colleagues and those we represent. 

Respect

We treat each other and the people we represent with appreciation and dignity and approach interactions with maturity, understanding, and open-mindedness. We are honest, ethical, and accurate in the messages we share with the world, each other, and the people we represent. We believe in each other and believe that each of us is motivated to act in the best interest of the team and the people we represent. 

Community

We work to build fellowship, trust, and understanding with each other so we can be better for the people we represent and for the external community. Together, we recognize and acknowledge difficulties and we celebrate and champion successes.

We are motivated to reach our full potential and to work with others to transform the legal system through passionate, thoughtful, and tenacious advocacy.
