The Lawyer's Prayer:

Dear Lord, grant that I may be able in argument; accurate in analysis, strict in studies; candid with clients and honest with adversaries.
Sit with me at my desk and listen with me to my client's plaints. Read with me in my library and stand beside me in court; so that today, in order to win a point, I shall not lose my soul. Amen.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on me;
Our Lady seat of wisdom, pray for me;
St. Thomas More, pray for me;
St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for me.

In the name of the father...son...and Holy Spirit. Amen.

“We cannot expect people to have respect for law and order until we teach respect to those we have entrusted to enforce those laws.
