I got a lot of ideas at Bob's.”

No resources of talent and training in our own society, even including the medical care, is more wastefully or unfairly distributed than legal skills. Ninety percent of our lawyers serve 10 percent of our people. We are over-lawyered and under-represented.”

The loss happens in time, in fact in a moment, but its aftermath lasts a lifetime.”
