"Civility should be our favorite word. It's one of the benchmarks and the cornerstones of the practice of law. When we are trying to develop law students into lawyers, civility is one of the main things that a number of law schools are focusing on to make sure that we're producing lawyers who are going to be treating others right. And it makes the justice system more efficient. It makes lawyers' lives better when you're dealing with some obstreperous jerk on the other side." - David Grenardo, Associate Director of Holloran Center for Ethical Leadership in the Professions and Professor at University of St. Thomas School of Law Hear Professor Grenardo debunk myths surrounding mandatory civility rules and explain the benefits of civility rules in encouraging restraint and cooperation by listening to his recent interview on State Bar of Texas Podcast hosted by Rocky Dhir: https://lnkd.in/gkiXGwZy #Civility
