 I Like Lawyers"Many people don't like lawyers. Yet I know many lawyers - a lot of them former students of mine - and I like almost all of them. Lawyers have many qualities that make them good people and enjoyable companions. They are smart, and their training enables them to use their intelligence efficiently and rationally. Try to imagine a society without lawyers. Now picture whether it would look like the United States, or like any one of a number of countries that recently have dissolved into chaos. |
