PCT : How did you get into your occupation ? BC : I can ’ t remember a time when I didn ’ t know I wanted to be an attorney . From an early age , I came to believe that historically , lawyers were often at the forefront of the fight for freedom and the battle to preserve that freedom once obtained . I have always thought that law was the one profession that could impact for good or bad every aspect of society – from enforcing the law as a prosecutor , defending constitutional rights , organizing and representing businesses and / or employees to assisting individuals and families plan for the future ; the legal profession contributes to the peace and security of society . Even after 39 years as a practicing attorney , I remain idealistic about the legal profession .
PCT : What is your favorite novel ? BC : Like most kids growing up in the 1960s , two novels that stand out are George Orwell ’ s 1984 and Animal Farm because of their focus on the dangers of centralized control and loss of individual freedom and individual expression . But I guess I would have to say my favorite novel is Mario Putzo ’ s The Godfather because of my Italian heritage and the fact that so many of the characters were familiar to our family ( that ’ s another story !).
PCT : What do you do to decompress ?

PCT: How did you get into your
occupation?
BC: I can’t remember a time when I
didn’t know I wanted to be an attor-
ney. From an early age, I came to
believe that historically, lawyers were
often at the forefront of the fight for
freedom and the battle to preserve
that freedom once obtained. I have
always thought that law was the one
profession that could impact for good
or bad every aspect of society – from
enforcing the law as a prosecutor,
defending constitutional rights, orga-
nizing and representing businesses
and/or employees to assisting individ-
uals and families plan for the future;
the legal profession contributes to
the peace and security of society.
