Lawyers hold a special place in society. We are champions of justice. We are granted a license to practice as an oligopoly, because we protect rights, hold power to account, and generally grease the wheels of society. That is awesome, and privileged, and yet, we’re often discontent. This probably has something to do with the follies of intelligence (including ego), but it certainly has to do with our professional culture — something which we can only change through collective action. Building a better profession requires building a healthier one: physically, mentally and emotionally.
