I think lawyers have a fidelity to the system itself that's always got to be with them, and indeed, most of the defense lawyers I know observe that.
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.
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.
Lawyers are very important people to me.
Lawyers work hard and, like us, they're human, many of them.
All lawyers are going to have to - if we really want to attain civil justice - address the issue of how complicated we have made the laws: what we have done to ensnarl the American people in bureaucratic rules and regulations that make access to services or compliance with the law sometimes difficult, if not impossible.
Lawyers are like beavers: They get in the mainstream and dam it up.
Lawyers have their duties as citizens, but they also have special duties as lawyers. Their obligations go far deeper than earning a living as specialists in corporation or tax law. They have a continuing responsibility to uphold the fundamental principles of justice from which the law cannot depart.
The trouble with law is lawyers.
We're lawyers. We present the arguments, and the court sorts out the merits.
