How about some famous and not-so-famous quotes about lawyers and the law? 

• "Nobody has a more sacred obligation to obey the law than those who make the law." ~ Sophocles
• "A jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer." ~ Robert Frost
• "Discourage litigation.  Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can.  As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man.  There will still be business enough." ~ Abraham Lincoln
• "He who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client." ~ Anonymous
• "Law is nothing unless close behind it stands a warm living public opinion." ~ Wendell Phillips
• "The good lawyer is not the man who has an eye to every side and angle of contingency, and qualifies all his qualifications, but who throws himself on your part so heartily, that he can get you out of a scrape." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Random Facts:

• According to the American Bar Association there are 1,143,358 active and inactive lawyers in the U.S.  (Active or inactive, we still think you're top drawer!)
• Approximately 140,000 prospective students take the LSAT each year. 
• Every year American lawyers donate, yes donate, hundreds of thousands of hours of their time (i.e. millions of dollars of billable hours) to work on pro bono cases.  For those of you who are not familiar with the term pro bono, pro comes from the Latin word "professional" as in sports and bono refers to the lead singer of U2, the legendary Irish rock band.  Just kidding.  Pro bono means "done without compensation for the public good."  And we never seem to hear about this in the media.  Hmmm...
