Editorial Indiana Lawyer
Here at the newspaper, we’re big fans of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. But we understand the
need for and exuberance some individuals feel for the Second Amendment: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to
the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Editorial Indiana LawyerDawn Johnsen deserved the nomination, and definitely was the right woman for the job, but unfortunately partisan vitriol appears
to
be worth more in Washington, D.C., than doing the right thing.

Editorial Indiana LawyerLike it or not, we live in a time where, for some people at least, it's become acceptable to speak about "reloading" when
doing battle against political opponents and to mark their political districts with gun sites, and where members of a Midwestern
church believe it's their duty to travel the nation and spew hate-laced messages in places where people are mourning tragedy.

With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.
Jack, I was only responding to bill's comment of tying everybody in government together. I agree with you though, it takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch.. As in any profession. What's truly unfair is when somebody violates someone's trust and takes complete advantage of someone
John’s comment is unfair. The majority of attorneys can be trusted. Unfortunately, all it takes is one greedy, unscrupulous, immoral attorney to jade the public.
In regards to bill's comment about trusting the cover meant. We can trust them about as much as we can trust attorneys'.
This is disturbing to learn...
