Being a lawyer is not merely a vocation. It is a public trust, and each of us has an obligation to give back to our communities.

One of the reasons I love the law is because I was raised in family - my grandfather was a lawyer, but more importantly, my grandmother was his secretary. And she taught me that lawyers were some of the most civil, most courteous - and in those days, most courtly - people that she knew.

One of the things I was taught in law school is that I'd never be able to think the same again - that being a lawyer is something that's part of who I am as an individual now.

I've always had an affinity for lawyers. My dad is a lawyer. He's retired now. My brother is a lawyer. It's always been easy, the legalese.

A lawyer who makes an impression as credible, competent, and civil is one whose thoughts I'll take seriously.

I've always had an affinity for lawyers. My dad is a lawyer. He's retired now. My brother is a lawyer.

For me, being a lawyer means to help those in need.

It doesn't make sense for me to be a lawyer in a place where there is no law.

We educated, privileged lawyers have a professional and moral duty to represent the underrepresented in our society, to ensure that justice exists for all, both legal and economic justice.

There are some lawyers who think of themselves as basically instruments of whoever their clients are, and they pride themselves on their professional craft.
