It seems like after 1980's, in particular 1990's, attorneys are more business oriented (aggressive advertising) and less courteous (hence the onslaught of lawyer jokes since the 80's and 90's).<BR/><BR/>The legal profession used to be respectable. What has happened? I wonder what Mr. Theroux would say about that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18502518.post-41997629253475192162007-04-05T07:15:00.000-07:002007-04-05T07:15:00.000-07:00Gayle, thanks so much for your comment.

For those not in the know, Gayle is my former secretary at Baker & McKenzie, and in that role she kept both Gene and me out of trouble for many years. The usual dynamic between lawyers and secretaries--and partners and associates, for that matter--is all too often antagonistic, or at best impersonal. True to character, Gene does not work that way, and you can see the result in Gayle's comment. And my post, for that matter.Gregory W.

Your students are very insightful and smart to have gleaned the very true essence of Gene's character and personality in a very short period of time. I have been blessed to work with him for the past 16 years and can attest to everything they felt about him to be true. He is an excellent lawyer and a fine human being who changed my life by hiring me 16 years ago. Wish I could have been there too. I never tire of hearing his stories.
