Early in its history, Haynes and Boone recognized the need to establish
a philosophy for managing itself and its relationships with its clients.
The firm's philosophy is built on these basic principles:

1) Quality Legal Advice.  We must always deliver the highest quality
legal services.  We must continue our professional development
throughout our careers and become experts in our respective fields.
2) Responsiveness.  We must be responsive to our client's needs on a
timely and cost-efficient basis.  We emphasize the importance of optimal
turn-around time on all projects.
3) Knowledge.  We must understand the fundamentals of each client's
business and the individual philosophies and strategies of our clients
so that our legal representation will be well directed.
4) Communication.  To be effective in the legal representation of our
clients, we must be good communicators.  Our lawyers understand the
importance of presenting practical and "bottom line" conclusions.
5) Concern for Clients.  A lawyer cannot be effective unless he or she
first cares about the client.  A client will not care about us until we
have first genuinely cared about the client.
6) Team Spirit.  Our law firm has developed and maintains an internal
culture that promotes a team effort.
7) Community Spirit.  Our lawyers are good citizens and must remain
involved in our local communities.  We expect our lawyers to contribute
through civic and charitable activities that meet a wide range of needs.

CRAM: The Cyberspatial Reality Advancement Movement

In an effort to bring valuable information to the masses, and as a
service to motivated information compilers, a member of CRAM can help
others unfamiliar with Usenet `publish' their documents for
widespread dissemination via the FAQ structure, and act as a
`sponsor' knowledgable in the submissions process. This document is
being distributed under this arrangement.

We have found these compilations tend to appear on various mailing
lists and are valuable enough to deserve wider distribution. If you
know of an existing compilation of Internet information that is not
currently a FAQ, please contact us and we may `sponsor' it. The
benefits to the author include:

- use of the existing FAQ infrastructure for distribution:
  - automated mail server service
  - FTP archival
  - automated posting

- a far wider audience that can improve the quality, accuracy, and
  coverage of the document enormously through email feedback

- potential professional inquiries for the use of your document in
  other settings, such as newsletters, books, etc.

- with us as your sponsor, we will also take care of the
  technicalities in the proper format of the posted version and
  updating procedures, leaving you free of the `overhead' to focus on
  the basic updates alone

The choice of who we `sponsor' is entirely arbitrary. You always have
the option of handling the submission process yourself.  See the FAQ
submission guidelines FAQ in news.answers.
