Love Your Lawyer
The Wall Street Journal
reports that those assembled at the American Bar Association meeting are urging lawyers throughout the nation "to celebrate 'Love Your Lawyer Day' to help promote a positive and more respected image of lawyers and their contribution to society." Alas, we missed the celebration - the first Friday in November - but note that it coincided with an uptick of those who think lawyers have very high or high ethical standards. The portion of such believers now stands at 21 percent, just below bankers (23 percent) and building contractors (26 percent), but three times those who hold such a high opinion of congress (7 percent) so that is a body in which lawyers are pulling up the average. Nurses, doctors and pharmacists (80 percent, 65 percent and 65 percent, respectively) are the most loved, and undoubtedly hoping that their patients and customers will not blame them when medical care becomes harder to get as Obamacare cuts in.
