Defense of the Legal Profession

There was a very interesting Letter to the Editor in the October issue of the Georgia Bar Journal, the magazine of the State Bar of Georgia.  In the letter, attorney Alvin Leaphart defends against attacks on the legal profession and comments on the need that the world has for lawyers while simultaneously attacking the profession.  Leaphart summarizes stating:

If you want to be popular, be a doctor, a preacher, or the village idiot.  If you want to make a difference and walk a long, lonely road, be a good lawyer.

The letter appears on page 5 of the issue, accessible here.
