Reflections on "Can the Ordinary Practice of Law Be a Religious Calling?"

Abstract

In connection with being on the panel today, I was asked to address the question of a religious calling and its connection to the particular area of law that I practice, namely, Federal income taxation. But I do not believe that I have too much to say on this topic. What I would like to say is that any apprehension that I may have does not stem from the demands of clients; rather, it is the demands - and the ethical implications of the demands - of other attorneys that I frequently need to be concerned with. Do not worry about the client walking into your office, wanting to do something illegal. That is not a problem.
