Article Excerpt:
Today is Law Day ... so says the President.

The theme of this year's Law Day, "The Rule of Law: Foundation for Communities of Opportunity and Equity," recognizes the fundamental role that the rule of law plays in preserving liberty in our Nation and in all free societies. We pay tribute to the men and women in America's legal community. Through hard work and dedication to the rule of law, members of the judiciary and the legal profession help secure the rights of individuals, bring justice to our communities, and reinforce the proud traditions that make America a beacon of light for the world.

Wow!!! I wasn't aware we were so important ... oh wait, yes I was.

There is absolutely no need whatsoever for a national Law Day. Are lawyers important to society ... absolutely yes. Do they already know that ... absolutely yes. There are not many lawyers that are not aware of their role in society. We are talking about a pretty confident bunch here that already sees themselves as the philosopher-kings of America. We even tell ourselves that we are taught in the style set forth by Socrates himself. Lawyers are an extremely arrogant bunch already, there is really no need to reinforce that notion with a national day for Lawyers.

I want lawyers to have that confidence and arrogance, because it is a necessary part of their job ... but I want them to have it quietly. If you truly are the philosopher-kings of society, then how about showing a little more humility. This national law day is embarrassing to me.
