The Bar does a very poor job of promoting lawyers-lawyers are unique. They have different education, different skills. Promoting why we are unique is the biggest thing the Bar can do. Not a turf issue. The media is our problem.
Jurors expect flashy cases.
Maybe through a campaign, maybe not. The breakdown of civility in the profession damages us-the tobacco settlement. We need to better our own practices as we consider these other changes to the profession. In addition, the profession needs to acknowledge that consumers are also looking for integrated services. Right now, they look to accounting firms and consulting firms for that.
