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
