Pete Eikenberry
In the 1995 book, “Law Firm and the Public Good,” edited by Robert A. Katzmann, the late judge wrote that:
The lawyer’s function is grounded in . . . morality, the idea that special obligations attach to certain roles – in this case, to render justice. . . . The state grants an effective monopoly, in exchange for lawyers, as officers of the court, discharging their duty to further equality before the law. . . .
