Lincoln on Professionalism Proudly presented by “Resolve to be honest at all events and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer.” Lawyer Referral & Information Service “Never stir up litigation.A worse man can scarcely be found who does this....A moral tone ought to be infused into the profession which should drive such men out of it.” “The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for tomorrow which can be done today.” -- A. Lincoln Using an engaging documentary-style format (think Ken Burns), Lincoln’s exemplary qualities of legal and personal professionalism come to life -- the qualities he demonstrated day in and day out in his law practice. This Atlanta Bar membercreated documentary will be coupled with a discussion among a stellar panel of judges and lawyers to provide a current and modern context to the model of professionalism that Lincoln provides.
