Because the deadline for this column coincides with the 31st anniversary of the shooting death of my father, James Henry ‘Doc’ Dolan; and, because my editor told me the topic for the column was totally up to me, I decided that this column must be about grief. Lawyers are human, and therefore, lawyers experience grief.
A few words about my dad: He was an old-fashioned, professional criminal with a long and storied career, which can be easily found by Googling his name. He died in the only manner truly conceivable for a person who lived a life such as his, which was murder, by gunshot. The idea of him dying in bed surrounded by loving friends and family is just too incongruous for serious consideration.
