"The
entire legal profession — lawyers, judges, law teachers have become so
mesmerized with the stimulation of the courtroom contest that we tend to
forget that we ought to be healers…
healers of conflicts
Should lawyers not be healers?
Healers, not warriors? Healers, not procurers? Healers not hired
guns?"
US
Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger, in his State of the Judiciary
Address, American Bar Association, February 12, 1984.
