“Obviously if you are an accountant, a criminal lawyer, a president, or a senator, or if you work in a funeral parlor, you have to wear a tie, but more and more people are wearing very casual clothes.” PeopleIfsPresidentClothesCriminalsLawyerTiesFuneralSenatorsCasualAccountantsParlorCriminal Law Author:Jean Pigozzi
“It is the lawyers who run our civilization for us -- our governments, our business, our private lives. Most legislators are lawyers; they make our laws. Most presidents, governors, commissioners, along with their advisers and brain-trusters are lawyers; they administer our laws. All the judges are lawyers; they interpret and enforce our laws. There is no separation of powers where the lawyers are concerned. There is only a concentration of all government power -- in the lawyers.” GovernmentRunningLawPresidentBrainJudgingCivilizationConcernedLawyerSeparationConcentrationGovernorsPrivate LifeLegislatorsAdviserSeparation Of PowersCommissioners Author:Fred Rodell

“The more I move among workers and factories and other plants, the stronger I become convinced that it is advisable to have as [a company] president a practical man, preferably one who has risen from the very bottom of the ladder. Workmen, I find, have far more respect for such men than for collar-and-cuff executives knowing little or nothing about the different kinds of work which have to be done by the workers. Wherever circumstances call for placing a financier or lawyer or a papa's son at the head of a large organization, he should be made chairman or some other title, but not president.” MenShouldKindLittlesMadeDifferentDoneMovingPresidentCompanyKnowingSonCircumstancesOrganizationStrongerPlantWorkersBottomConvincedLawyerPracticalsTitlesExecutivesFactoriesDifferent KindsLaddersChairmanRisenCollarsPapaWorkmenCuffsFinanciersAdvisable Author:B.

“With Republicans in control of the Senate for the first time since Barack Obama took office, the president may find it harder to appoint left-wing lawyers to judgeships.
