"What issue keeps you up at night?"

Jinanne S. J. Elder - Attorney at Bowman, Moos, Elder & Noe
"Erosion of due process. I worry that the enjoyment -- indeed the existence -- of this fundamental protection of liberty and freedom to which I, with so many of my colleagues, have devoted our lives is endangered by the government that is charged with its protection." |

Valerie C. Samuels - Partner at Posternak Blankstein & Lund LLP
"One day, I woke up and was the poster girl for the "sandwich generation." I lie awake wondering how am I am going to do it all each and every day. How can I serve my clients and my profession to the utmost, without neglecting my child and my elderly mom? World peace would be nice too." |

Rhonda Russian - Senior Staff Counsel for the Mass Water Resources Authority
"Without question, writing briefs gives me major insomnia. Not only do I stay awake worrying about the law, the facts, and the brief – but when I do sleep, I dream about the brief all night long! It’s a blessing when a brief is served, because then, I can get some rest." |

Christine Wichers - Partner at Choate, Hall & Stewart LLP
"I worry about increasing global political instability. I wish countries and religions did not try to impose their views on others. I wish everyone were more tolerant and less convinced that their view is the only right one."
