Three Score and Ten in Retrospect
very active part in the affairs of state, but we cannot underestimate our responsibility to individual citizens in their own private affairs, both civil and criminal. A nation with satisfied citizens is a satisfied nation. Not all litigants can be expected to be pleased with the verdict or decree. The very act of settlement usually terminates contest and confusion, but to settle a matter justly adds satisfaction and stability. Justice is not a commodity like hay or oats. Who can say, "I have found it?" Yet seek it we must. The lawyer's intimate concern and participation in the processes of justice present almost frightening obligations, but to those obligations are inseparably attached the rewards and satisfactions that come only from the accomplishment of the difficult. We all know that in the realization of these lofty purposes provision must be made for a reasonable living for the lawyer and his family. A fair fee for a proper service rendered is expected, but we must agree with Elbert Hubbard who said, Folks who never do more than they get paid for seldom get paid for more than they do. Every client will have a reason for coming to your office. Some will seek your assistance to comply with the law, while others will want help in circumventing it. The dLference between complying with the requirements for the advantages offered under the law and discovering loopholes is sometimes difficult to determine, but there is always a clarion distinction. A clientele tainted with even a sprinkling of nefarious operations is headed for disaster. The type of people coming to you will be determined to a great extent by what you are. Pointing the way to a lawful wrong changes the course of the wind that blew to you a client. With bills high and income meager, the temptations are great when the client with an unjust cause, but sufficient money, to support his mistaken idea seeks your aid. I do not refer to the unpopular case or the cause of the accused who has a right to have his defense presented in its most favorable light. To convince an erring client, and incidentally divert that needed fee, distinguishes an excellent lawyer from a short-cut meal hunter.
