It\u2019s been a very long time since I\u2019ve attended a CLE presentation and found myself absolutely riveted by the speaker and the content of his or her presentation.\u00a0 That happened on May 5\u00a0at the State Bar of Wisconsin\u2019s Litigation, Dispute Resolution, and Appellate Practice Institute.\u00a0 The speaker was Egil \u201cBud\u201d Krogh who served as White House counsel under President Richard Nixon from 1969 to 1973.<\/p>\n
Sure his story is remarkable.\u00a0 He is one of the \u201cWhite House Plumbers\u201d who created and authorized one of the most infamous covert operations ever.\u00a0 His actions resulted in a criminal conviction, a six-month prison sentence, and later disbarment from the practice of law.\u00a0\u00a0 This is where his story becomes important to me.<\/p>\n
His time in prison and subsequent reflections on his years in the White House allows him to share a perspective about the importance of good and sound decision-making with a sense of integrity.\u00a0 Notwithstanding his actions in the early 1970\u2019s, he is now able to lead by example and talk about how the pressure of our work, our relationships with co-workers, our need to address client demands, and our internal pressure to succeed can interfere with our need to maintain both personal and professional integrity.<\/p>\n
He talks about the legal profession with a level of respect and, candidly, enthusiasm that is infectious and truly inspirational.\u00a0 He has lived through some tough life experiences that are certainly unique to him.\u00a0 Nonetheless, his message resonates with all of us.\u00a0 Thank you, Mr. Krogh, for sharing with us your recipe for how to make the right choices.<\/p>\n
