As lawyers, we have had access to some of the finest educational systems that our country can offer. We have been given a very rare and unique opportunity, and we are very cognizant of this. Most of us feel that we truly owe our society something for the opportunities that we are afforded. And most of us already give back to our society though no one has asked this of us. But what we have not done is to let the rest of our community know of our commitments and ideals.
Information is the key.
The people of India won their independence in part because their fellow countrymen and the rest of the world knew of their struggle and their actions. We should not allow our efforts to remain unknown. We should demonstrate to those who would accord us only suspicion and mistrust that we lawyers are not so far removed from the rest of the world. We should let it be known that we can and do seek to better our world. We have the power to show our fellows that lawyers should not be scorned or feared.
