Injustice Our Prisons Conclusion INTRODUCTION On March 7, 2006, I delivered a speech here at Fordham Law School to an audience of students from all of the law schools the New York metropolitan area. On that occasion, I lamented that while the practice of law had been an honorable profession when I started practicing the 1950s, it had become, by and large, just another bottom line business. That speech is set forth chapter sixteen of my recent book entitled, Rambling with Gill. Rambling with Gill is dedicated to my friend, the late B.J. Harrington, who overcame enormous physical handicaps that were the result of being hit by an automobile while a young man. Despite those injuries, he went on to become an extraordinary lawyer and the chairman of the distinguished law firm of Bleakley Platt & Schmidt. But he was much more than that--he was going away the finest Catholic layman I ever encountered. Among many other things, he led the way supporting the Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center which seeks out, cares for, and comforts the most disabled children the New York metropolitan area. B.J. did all of this quietly and without any expectation of or interest self-aggrandizement. Through B.J. and because of my granddaughter, Gillian, the Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center has become my favorite charity and all of the money which Rambling with Gill generates any form will go to that center. My 2006 speech received widespread attention the United States and abroad, and the overwhelming reaction was agreement that such was the case. Since then, I believe the situation has become even worse! The most recent evidence is the establishment of the so-called permanent class of lawyers who work substantially less hours than the traditional associate, but receive far less salary and benefits than the traditional associate and have no chance of ever becoming a partner. I pointed out my 2006 speech that there were exceptions; that there were some lawyers and some firms that still practiced the law as it was practiced before the profession morphed into a bottom line business. I also discussed the ingredients that go into the making of the great lawyer and urged my fledgling audience to embrace them, the face of an ever-mounting obsession to make money. The purpose of this evening's speech is to supplement that earlier speech. I believe that every lawyer, by virtue of the special training lawyers receive; the experiences they encounter connection with the practice of law; the monopoly they enjoy providing legal advice and appearing our courts; and the enormous trust and confidence that society imposes upon them, have a duty and obligation to devote themselves substantial measure, to correcting the many social injustices that exist our society. I am referring not just to lawyers who are judges, legislators or other public office holders but rather to all lawyers because all lawyers are duty bound to promote and protect justice all areas and at every level of human conduct, no matter who they are or what they do. All lawyers, by definition, work in the service of others. The obligation of lawyers to correct social injustice is not by any means, a recent development, but rather goes back to the beginnings of law-based societies. Michael A. Cardozo, the Corporation Counsel of the City of New York, a speech entitled, Rebuilding the City: The Opportunity to Help and the Obligation to Serve (delivered on January 26, 2003) said the following: The obligation to help those less fortunate has always been a fundamental tenet of the legal profession. …" @default.
