pacity. I have taken great pride and pleasure from serving throughout my life. I learned the value of serving my community as an Eagle Scout. I proudly served my country as an Army intelligence o cer and a JAG at- torney. I have also greatly enjoyed serving the Bar. I have served the Florida Bar on its business litigation board certi cation com- mittee and the Supreme Court’s business and contract jury instructions committee. I have also been involved with the Palm Beach County Bar by chairing its business litigation CLE committee and serving on the north county section board and now as president-elect. Personally, I gravitate to opportunities to serve our profession and I believe that serving the Bar and the com- munity as a circuit court judge is one of the highest callings we, as attorneys, can meet.
Steinfeld: In the coming year, I look forward to getting to know attorneys with whom I will have the pleasure of working on disputes. I do not view opposition as the proverbial enemy; I prefer to view them as fellow professionals from whom I can learn and improve. When I was  rst assigned as an Army JAG attorney, I called the person who would oppose me in court to get to know him and we remain close friends to this day. In my practice, I still make a habit of interacting with opposing counsel on a personal level because we are all in this pro- fession together and today’s opposition may be tomorrow’s co-counsel or someone to whom I can refer a client and vice versa.
Steinfeld: Technology is impacting our profession in all practice areas.  e bar has mandated that we all obtain technol- ogy credits and may soon set goals for tech- nological competence like other state Bars. In my practice, I have embraced technol- ogy and to help fellow attorneys, I created a 17.5 credit Florida Bar approved e-discovery CLE.  is program instructs how to per- form electronic discovery and is available at EverythingE-Discovery.com. To help fellow litigators and law  rms evaluate the so ware used for e-discovery and to insulate them from malpractice claims in this new area, I also cre- ated e-DiscoverySo wareReviews.com. I think that we all try to improve our profession and these are my contributions to hopefully make this e-discovery area a little easier for my peers.
