Charles Evans Hughes, U.S. Secretary of State (1921–25) and Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court (1930–41)

"The legal profession owes it to itself that wrongs do not go without a remedy because the injured has no advocate . . . . Does the lawyer ask, who is my neighbor?  I answer—the poor man deprived of his just dues."

—Speech to the American Bar Association, August 1920
