year law student and then invited me to be a member of his Alderson Legal Assistance Prison clinic . Professor Groot stressed the impact of preparation and demanded high work ethic , attention to detail and intellectual discipline with uncompromising principles .
What do you do to unwind ?
CJ Anderson : Perhaps my most rewarding activity outside work has been completing a marathon and a triathlon ; it proved to me that you can accomplish what appears insurmountable if you just keep moving forward .
CJ Aten : To unwind , I enjoy acrylic painting in my home studio , vegan cooking and juicing , music and watching documentaries . Recently , I started working out with my trainer again .
CJ Blum : Most people that know me say I never actually unwind ; however , my husband and Crossfit keep me sane . If I could , I would SCUBA dive every day ; I ’ ve logged around 300 dives and my whole family is certified .
CJ Camp : I enjoy attending Zumba classes at the gym . The classes really help you to relax after a stressful day . I also like to go fishing at the lake on the weekends .
CJ Dallas : I try to work out as often as possible . I love being outdoors , which helps me to appreciate more of the beauty of life and balance the challenging issues I handle on a daily basis .
CJ Kirk : I support our community through several service organizations . In addition , I am an avid tennis player and can often be found at a local park with my team or looking for a game . ▪
From the Board
We asked The Atlanta Lawyer Editorial Board " What book is on your nightstand ?"
Megan Hodgkiss , Hodgkiss Consulting I just finished Trevor Noah ' s Born a Crime : Stories From a South African Childhood , which was excellent . Highly recommend .
Michael Jablonski , Law Office of Michael Jablonski Three books are stacked on the nightstand : Wolf Hall by Hillary Mantell . Yes , I know it is a TV series now but I would rather read . I thought that it would be nice to explore a book that does not have a colon in the title . Nothing is True and Everything is Possible : The Surreal Heart of the New Russia by Peter Pomerantsev . The book explores the theoretical and strategic basis for fake news as political communication , using modern Russia as a case study . Pomerantsev is not critical of the new propaganda . The Dark Net : Inside the Digital Underground byJamie Bartlett . There is vastly more to the Internet than the Web , most unfortunately .
Lisa Liang , Hon . Susan E . Edlein , State Court of Fulton County Taming the Tiger Within : Mediations on Transforming Difficult Emotions , Thich Nhat Hanh . This is an easy way to build a mindfulness practice in the morning or before bed to settle your mind .
Erik Provitt , Devil in the Grove : Thurgood Marshall , the Groveland Boys , and the Dawn of a New America by Gilbert King
Jackie Saylor , The Saylor Law Firm LLP The Tsar of Love and Techno Stories by Anthony Marra
