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

For example, the firm I am interning at, gave me some litigation work. I suffer from imposter syndrome, so whenever I get something new, I mess up everything due to nerves. I have never even done a litigation internship ever, so I had no clue of what was being given. I did not draft it well, of course, the associate said something mean behind my back.
Does it get better? Is law as a profession designed for only people of two kinds–one who have imposter syndrome, and the others, who enable it?
