AS WE ENTER the new year, many of us in the legal profession join other New Yorkers in undertaking the annual ritual of reflecting on the previous 12 months and setting our goals for the upcoming year. Unquestionably, our reflections of the past year will be dominated by the tragic events of Sept. 11 and its aftermath. For the families of the victims of the World Trade Center attacks, as well as for millions of other New Yorkers and Americans, the year 2001 will be defined by tremendous feelings of grief, sorrow and devastating loss.
With respect to goals for the new year, our City, State and national leaders have inspired us to move forward as best we can, and not to allow the tragedy to immobilize us or cause us to lose sight of our purpose. Instead, consistent with the resiliency New Yorkers have always shown during times of crisis, it is a time for greater focus, a renewed purpose and unbending resolve. For the City generally, the tasks include rebuilding the World Trade Center area and the economy, and restoring the confidence of its citizens, businesses and those who visit here.
