“Lawyers have played a critical role in our country’s history. Our nation could not have been founded without the efforts of lawyers like Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, and others. Many of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and about one-half of the signers of the Constitution were lawyers. Lawyers serve in elected and appointed positions in federal, state, and local governments. In large measure, ours is a society led by lawyers.”
James D. Gordon III, “Lawyers and the Rule of Law,” Life in the Law: Service & Integrity, 2009, 298
