How has an understanding and/or commitment to Jewish values entered your decisions or actions as an attorney?
Helping people get justice through the legal system is rewarding work. Fighting for injured humans against the big insurers suits my sense of justice. Lawyers are required to meet a set of ethical rules many of which spring from the ethical principles of Judaism.
