WHEN THINGS AREN'T COMING UP ROSES, IT'S A TRUE RARITY FOR

JANINE BRADSTREET. MANHATTAN'S SENIOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY HAS LED

A FRUITFUL AND GIFTED CAREER, ALTHOUGH, THE CASUAL OBSERVER

WOULD SCARCELY KNOW THAT. BORN IN JERSEY CITY, THE DAUGHTER OF A

BUTCHER, JANINE'S BEGINNINGS WERE GRAVE INDEED. HER MOTHER

CONTRACTED MENINGITIS DURING PREGNANCY AND JANINE WAS BORN WITH

MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY. LEARNING TO COPE IN A WORLD NOT FASHIONED

WITH HER AILMENTS IN MIND, JANINE STRUGGLED ONWARD. HER LACK OF

MOBILITY WAS MADE UP FOR TEN FOLD WITH HER INEXHAUSTIBLE LOVE OF

READING. BY AGE THIRTEEN, SHE HAD READ EVERY SINGLE VOLUME IN

HER LOCAL LIBRARY. THROUGH PUBERTY HER INTERESTS GREW WITH A

FASCINATION FOR MYSTERIES AND LAW. GRADUATING CUM LAUDE FROM

COLUMBIA, SHE VENTURED ONTO HARVARD, HER FLEDGLING LEAP TOWARD

THE BAR. HER COMMITMENT, DRIVE AND UNFLAGGING PERSEVERANCE IN

HER STUDIES WON HER THE RESPECT OF ALL HER CLASSMATES. SHE

GRADUATED AT THE HEAD OF HER CLASS, PASSING THE NEW YORK BAR

WITH EASE. OFFERS FLOODED IN FOR HER TO JOIN PRESTIGIOUS FIRMS

ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND AROUND THE WORLD. BUT HER COMMITMENT TO

SELF HAD BEEN TRANSFORMED TO A COMMITMENT TO "FIGHT THE GOOD

FIGHT" AND WORK HARD FOR HER BELOVED CITY. TODAY, JANINE REMAINS

A PROMINENT FORCE IN THE CITY'S LEGAL SYSTEM, AND A STAUNCH

PROMOTER OF THE HANDICAPPED WORLD WIDE.
