As a private lawyer, I could bill $750 an hour, but I don't.

Everyone wants to be paid well - I know that I certainly do. But there are lots of other satisfactions that we get from our work. To feel needed. To feel accomplishment. To believe that our work matters. Being a lawyer gives you a rare chance to experience that kind of success.

Lawyers are men who hire out their words and anger.

I believe that if a man does a job as well as a woman, he should be paid as much.

It's fine to get paid and get a big verdict, but to go out and represent people, sometimes in unglamorous ways, is really what lawyering is all about.

Lawyers advocate more so than state their own positions.

I wouldn't pretend to tell you we don't pay our lawyers well.

I'm not sure I can say there is a clean line between me as an individual and me as a lawyer.

Lawyers work hard and, like us, they're human, many of them.

It's not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts.
