- W331501571 abstract "Since 1965, the Washington Law Review has had forty-three Editorsin-Chief, roughly ninety executive editors, more than seven hundred and fifty student members, and one faculty advisor-Professor Richard Kummert. As extraordinary as any period of service extending more than four decades may seem, those who know Professor Kummert consider it business as usual. As one former dean recently stated describing Professor Kummert, in the history of the law school, no person has been entrusted with so much responsibility by so many deans. Beyond his perennial service to the law review, Professor Kummert has single-handedly governed the school's all-important admissions program for decades, chaired every major committee the school, served as an associate dean on four occasions, and been a trusted advisor to many law school deans and countless students and faculty colleagues. But this tribute is not about the quantum of Professor Kummert's service to the law school community (something others are more qualified to discuss), nor his length of service to this law review (forty-three years pretty much says it all). The focus here is my personal experience with Professor Kummert and how he helped me many years ago. I am certain that any of the other forty-two Editors-in-Chief who had the pleasure of working with Professor Kummert, if given an opportunity to reflect and comment, could share comparable experiences that illustrate the quality of his efforts and the impacts of his contributions. During my tenure as Editor-in-Chief of the law review (and I suspect that of many others), certain conditions Professor Kummert's job particularly challenging and essential. I came with no experience. I knew only that I would manage a group of bright, unpaid student colleagues to produce four issues of the Review. The sheer scope of the effort took a toll and stressed many relationships. Some of my colleagues, thankfully, worked tirelessly and brilliantly to make it happen. Others did little more than routinely announce to anyone within earshot that they had made law review. As the year wore on, doubts regarding the value of the entire effort occasionally surfaced. My thoughts would wander to a crude cost/benefit analysis to assess the totality of the experience, often concluding that the burdens and opportunity costs of the effort trumped any definable benefits. All these doubts disappeared when the experience ended and I tackled the challenge of becoming a competent practicing lawyer. And, surprisingly, the potential benefits that I had always factored into my cost/benefit analysis were not the basis for this enhanced appreciation of my law review experience. The experience had not me a significantly better writer or enabled me to secure a better job. And as for the value of what we actually published, I still wonder whether anyone ever read volume forty-eight. My belated appreciation for my law review experience was triggered by a realization that my association with Professor Kummert and certain other people over many months under trying circumstances had taught me some valuable personal lessons. I had no real awareness or appreciation of these lessons during my law review tenure, but I soon discovered their value as I struggled to develop my skills as a professional. Following are two examples. Example One. As a young lawyer, I quickly discovered that many attorneys, including those with great reservoirs of legal knowledge and years of experience, were lousy with clients. Some could not make any connection; their role was limited to serving the needs of their professional colleagues. Others, who I dubbed Recyclers, had mastered the challenge of making a strong first impression with clients, but overtime they would disappoint as the relationship never measured up to the expectations created up front. As a result, they were forever recycling clients just to keep their plates full. In contrast, I observed a few who knew how to build client relationships that continually strengthened overtime-who had, what I called, Escalating Credibility. …" @default.
