I know its all too rare..I've been in the business just over 40 years and have my own cynical views on the enterprise. BUT I also vividly remember Martin Luther King, Desmond Tutu, and Gandhi and their amazing ability to transform social injustices. Each imperfect in their own many ways, but saints of a sort each one as well.<br />AND when I needed help building a homeless shelter in West Virginia, I had 6 attorneys working for me pro bono to make sure it happened. <br />I know its rare...but I'm holding out for it nonetheless! <br />Thanks for your feedback.<br />Paul"Fr.

My cousin, now a Judge on the Supreme Court of British Columbia was told on her first day of Law School that if they were there because of a passion for justice, they were in the wrong place. Being a lawyer is about the LAW, not about justice. If they accidentally mesh once in a while, it is your lucky day. From what I see of the religious right and of my own 50 years in the bondage of religion, I would say the same. If God and religion accidentally overlap it is your lucky day.The Blog Fodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441978691701289074noreply@blogger.com
