WHT IS UNIQUE ABOUT JBBG?
"My Law Firm." Ask any JBBG employee
what this means, and you will hear just that
– JBBG is my law firm and my family, which
is the primary goal of our ongoing cultural
makeover. Recognizing a few years ago that
our accidental culture – evolving over the
years by default – needed a reboot, we em-
barked on our culture journey. Results of our
focus appear in different forms; varying from
small but meaningful change, Jeans Friday for
example, to more robust initiatives like creat-
ing a corporate fund for JBBG employees to
help one another in times of need – much like
a family! We are all connected in our commit-
ment for a better JBBG. – Julie Wiley
LOOKING BACK, I WISH I HAD: Realized
the benefit I would have received from a fe-
male mentor in my profession to help answer
questions and discuss ideas and problems.

YOUR ADVICE FOR WOMEN WANTING
TO START A LAW CAREER?
‰ere are so many different law career paths
that I wasn't even aware existed when I decid-
ed to go to law school. It is not what you see
on TV. Talk to lawyers in different fields and
find out what they do on a day-to-day basis. If
you can, shadow a lawyer, work in a law office
or volunteer for legal aid. It isn't "Matlock" or
"Law & Order," but it is a challenging and
rewarding career. – Elizabeth Hall
