Description

It was not long ago that the cover of one of Canada's most widely-read magazines brazenly proclaimed that "lawyers are rats." The headline referred to a book portraying lawyers as "greedy, unprincipled enablers of the rich." The story sent shockwaves through the legal profession and prompted many legal associations to issue responses. It also led some lawyers to reflect upon whether they had indeed strayed from the noble principles that had once drawn them to the study and practice of law. Nothing more clearly refutes the accusation that all lawyers are rats than the vast number of lawyers who have dedicated themselves to pro bono and public interest work. For as long as there have been lawyers, there have been those willing to contribute their time and legal expertise, with little or no financial incentive, to assisting communities and individuals unable to pay for legal services, and to serving the public interest. Their contributions have been critical to promoting access to justice for society's disenfranchised. However, because these incidences attracted little recognition, and because the lawyers generally engaged in this work on their own, after hours, or under the radar, they were all too often overlooked by the media and society-at-large.
