Proud to Be a Lawyer

Week of September 29, 2003

Clara Barton, U.S. Civil War nurse and founder of the American Red Cross

"I have an almost complete disregard of precedent and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things always have been done. . . . I defy the tyranny of precedent. I cannot afford the luxury of a closed mind. I go for anything new that might improve the past."

—From A Chosen Faith
