Law is not a profession at all, but rather a business service station and repair shop.

We mean by 'politics' the people's business - the most important business there is.

Be different, you can't do what everyone does

The emphasis on getting business and billing goes far beyond the professionalism of law and does the profession injustice.

Law is a personal service business and building a firm is very much tied to building personal relationships. I spend a good chunk of my time as I travel building and maintaining personal relationships with existing partners and colleagues and developing new relationships with clients and recruits. Lawyers who can work anywhere tend to want to join a firm where they can be successful and where they can have friends and be liked.

The first principle of a free society is an untrammeled flow of words in an open forum.
