Phil Mueller, a highly successful graduate of an ivy league law school, followed a long and meandering path until he finally found his calling. A decade after his law school graduation, he left a promising career as a civil litigator in a prominent Boston law firm to join his college friend who had just been elected District Attorney for Schenectady County, New York. Phil worked in the D.A.'s office until he retired 26 years later. During that time, he tried dozens of felony cases, including 25 murder trials, and received state-wide recognition for the fair and ethical approach he brought to his work and taught to other prosecutors. In this episode, Phil describes his early years searching for the career that fit his personality and interests, and finally finding it by following his instincts. In our next episode, we'll hear about Phil's experiences as a prosecutor and his views about the role of the prosecutor as a public servant.
