Arrogance of lawyers

By Edward Poll, J.D., M.B.A., CMC

I just received this note from a Michigan Circuit Court Judge ... Her comments are well taken.

I am a Circuit Court Judge in Lenawee County. I want to thank you for your comments in the May 18, 2009 Michigan Lawyer's Weekly Coach's Corner encaptioned "Arrogance Of Lawyers."

I grow increasingly concerned about the inability/unwillingness of people to accept responsibility for their actions or their failure to act in many cases. I served as a Probate Judge before being elected to the Circuit Court. I know our adults are sending a dangerous message and setting a bad example for our children. I have often said "accept responsibility for your actions, put on your big girl/boy pants and move on."

Thank you for summing it all up. I will investigate your other writing at the Lawbiz website.
