"This is my bachelor's degree from Perdu, my law degree from Vanderbilt, honerable discharge from the army. These are law licenses. When I went to law school there was a placement office and the placement office helped me find someone to work with. And I went to work for one lawyer who had a significant trial practice and so I became involved in his cases and later my own. I do a lot of work for public school systems and I guess getting on board with the first one has been very helpful. I was sort of an associate to an established lawyer. I went to work for him and he gave me a certain amount of money until I was able to generate my own income. Doing what he wanted me to do, going in to court and making appearances for him when he had conflicts in time, things like that."
