I retire to make way for an abler man. In my four years as attorney general I have aged about ten years, but when I have get back to the practice of law, I hope to show those lawyers that I still have some vitality left.

I enjoyed practicing law.

I've become very fond of the law. I've always been an advocate for justice, which occasionally the law brings to light.

The law seemed to be always what I came back to. I have never, one day in my life as a lawyer, regretted my decision to become a lawyer.

I will always love the law; no matter what, I'll always find ways to participate in the law.

I like practicing law.

I was a lawyer for 12 years in New York and Sweden.

After 25-plus years as a lawyer, prosecutor, and defense attorney, I have developed a deep appreciation for both the wisdom of the law and the role that jurists play in framing the rights and responsibilities that define our society.

I was a trial lawyer when I was elected to Congress.

To play a lawyer and have one year of law school under your belt, you sort of know what you're talking about! I'm able to memorize the legal courtroom stuff a lot faster than I would have been able to otherwise.
