Beds draws some conclusions

The Recorder presents Justice Bedsworth's monthly column Conclusions I've Drawn: "This month I won’t try to be funny. This month I will try something even tougher: I’ll try to be helpful." Below are his point headings, but be sure to read the actual article!
Conclusion 1: It’s never your assistant’s fault.
Conclusion 2: It’s probably no one else’s fault either.
Conclusion 3: What goes around comes around.
Conclusion 4: You want the things that come back to you to be good things.
Conclusion 5: “There is always a Diedrich case.” ("No matter how important the case you’re handling now, there is another one—at least equally important, probably more—coming out of the chute in the next go-round.")
Conclusion 6What you’re doing is very difficult. Cut yourself some slack.
Conclusion 7There is no greater engine on the planet for doing good than the American legal system.
Conclusion 8We have been allowed to live a life of incredible privilege.
Conclusion 9Only the good die young.
