Happy 4th of July!

I love all holidays and 4th of July is no exception. I don’t have any major plans for the day in fact, I have no plans at all. Still, I can’t help but get a bit sappy when I think about what it means to celebrate the 4th of July. While not a perfect nation, we are all lucky to be Americans.

And, on this day, I find myself thinking about all the lawyers in this great country. We should all be honored to be part of the legal profession in America. Lawyer jokes aside, lawyering is an honored profession. We are experts–depended upon when the stakes are high and the issues are complex.

Throughout my time as a lawyer and now as a recruiter, I have encountered countless individuals with outstanding accomplishments and amazing intellectual ability. On the whole, lawyers are an amazing group of people and some of the most respected individuals in history.

Thus, on this 4th of July holiday, I’d like to encourage all lawyers out there to reflect on the years of hard work and commitment that it took to get you where you are today. Go ahead, pat yourself on the back (just don’t let anyone see you doing it!). Your job may not be perfect; billable hours may have your stress levels at an all time high; and your client may be driving you nuts! But don’t lose sight of the fact that the work you do is always important to someone and no matter what type of practice you are in, someone has placed their trust in you and is depending on you to solve a problem that is probably keeping them awake at night. Be proud of your profession.

Happy 4th of July!
