Volunteering and Sponsorship
Why are volunteering and sponsorship important to the Cady Family? We are honored to be included among the top litigation support providers in the country. We appreciate the opportunity that we have had to grow in this community. During our time period of becoming a pillar of the court reporting community in Ohio, we appreciate all of the resources we have at our disposal. We have gained knowledge and insight from the CMBA, the NNRC and long-time veterans of the industry just to name a few.

We volunteer on an ongoing basis with the CMBA so that the youth of Cleveland can have an even better chance at a bright future. We volunteer with the NNRC so that we can continually foster advancement in our own industry which helps litigators do their job even better. We are happy to give of our time and resources so that in small ways we can repay what we have been given....

Carnival Accidents Largely Caused by Riders
Article originally published on Hughes & Coleman.com Into safe arms “Oh, my gosh, she’s gonna fall”, says the person recording the video as the camera focuses on a teenager whose body is at the point of slipping out of the protective barrier of a gondola ride and plunging into a 25-foot fall. More and more people start to realize that, above their heads, a potentially tragic accident is unfolding. Cries for the ride to be stopped are mixed with shouts encouraging the girl to hold on. Finally, the gondolas come to a halt and the amusement park employees instruct visitors to leave the area just below the distressed teenager. A small crowd of safety personnel gathers to catch the girl when the inevitable fall happens. After a nerve-racking couple of seconds, the unlucky teenager plummets to the ground, hitting a tree branch on her way down, but ending up caught by the arms of the people gathered below. The crowds give a collective sigh of relief and start cheering. This time a tragedy was avoided – the girl was taken to the hospital to be treated for some injuries but appeared to have sustained no major damage to her health. Who’s at fault? The tense situation, capable of making a parent think twice before letting their kid go to an amusement park, took place at the Six Flags Park’s Sky Ride attraction in New York. One day after the incident, the sheriff’s office said that the ride was investigated and that its safety equipment was found to be fully operational. Warren County sheriff’s Lt. Steven Stockdale commented that the incident...
Guest Author: Lighting the Career Path Through Mentoring and Championing
Lighting the Career Path Through Mentoring and Championing by Guest Author Adrian D. Thompson of Taft, Stettinius & Hollister (Originally published in the CMBA Journal, March 2017) A Buddhist proverb states, “If you light a lamp for someone, it will also brighten your own path.” Mentoring programs help young lawyers develop and learn new skills under the direction and advice of a seasoned expert, their mentor. Mentoring is a career development and talent retention tool. The very act of mentoring brightens the career paths of both the person being nurtured through counsel, “the mentee,” and the person providing the counseling, “the mentor.” The law firm/employer itself, also benefits due to the enhanced communication between the mentor and mentee which ultimately supports the organization’s directions toward sustainable growth gained from enlightened participants. Quality mentoring greatly enhances the mentee’s changes for success and the company’s ability to meet/exceed its goals and objectives. Therefore, the importance and significance of a formal mentoring program cannot be diminished. Mentor Duties Mentor duties are to advise, motivate, coach, champion, inspire, teach and lead by example. Mentors are more senior professionals in their careers and are battle tested. Mentoring occurs when an experienced lawyer takes a personal interest in one with less experience and helps the junior lawyer learn and advance. Mentors provide mentees with a brain to pick, and ear to listen, and a friendly push in the right direction. As active listeners, mentors offer support, guidance and constructive criticism as appropriate. Mentoring also provides the mentee with a leader to run to with questions. Mentoring programs help to foster healthy work relationships by providing...
