This day in history from:

Broken In...

How does one break in a new associate lawyer?

1. Give a warm greeting.

2. Create a friendly atmosphere.

3. Crack lots of jokes (but nothing inappropriate, though to avoid suits).

4. Give a hearty welcome meal (perhaps lunch with all the other partners and associate lawyers).

5. Issue anything from brand-new MacBook to a brand-new car (depending on how big your firm is).

6. THEN, hit hard and fast with a ton of work on the first day!

Make 'em deserve it, I say!

Seriously, though, we broke in our first new associate lawyer as our newly-reorganized lawfirm. She's the first one we have from law school I came from so I guess the rapport should be there.

But enough of that.

It's winding down for the Holy Week holidays. I'm actually in vacation mode already. But there are actually two more working days in this week. Depending on the workload, I'll probably start to slow down.

Also, it's Bea's last day of school tomorrow. That means only one thing: a two-month vacation from bus driver duties. Yay! I'm really going to enjoy waking up slightly later that usual.

But of course, I still have my customary choir duties for this (which also pile up during these times). But I'm not complaining a bit. Where else can I serve in a way that I love?

And if you're Roman Catholic, I hope you have a meaningful vacation.

I'll probably post appropriate readings starting tomorrow, for those who care to read them.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.

Side Oath

The Lawyer's Oath
I do solemnly swear that
I will maintain allegiance to
the Republic of the Philippines,
I will support its Constitution
and obey the laws as well as
the legal orders of the
duly constituted authorities therein;
I will do no falsehood,
nor consent to the doing of any in court;
I will not wittingly or willingly
promote or sue any groundless,
false or unlawful suit,
nor give aid nor consent to the same;
I will delay no man for money or malice,
and will conduct myself as a lawyer
according to the best of my knowledge
and discretion with all good fidelity
as well to the courts as to my clients;
and I impose upon myself this voluntary obligation
without any mental reservation
or purpose of evasion.
So help me God.
