1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

"Mean" in the statistical sense. That is where you need to start, in terms of understanding about "the average lawyer".
Also, "Mean" in the linguistic sense. Like, "Did you mean to tell the world that you cannot understand the concept of outliers and/ or exceptions to the rule?"
Also, "mean" in the "nasty" sense. "I know someone who was a chaiwala and became PM. Does that mean that I should drop out of IIM and become a chaiwala if I want to be PM?"
Another example: Sanjoy Basu, friend and close associate of Abhishek Banerjee. Completely unknown junior lawyer before the TMC came to power, now a multicrorepati and recently bought a major Bengali newspaper.
