International Be Kind To Lawyers Day

On the second Tuesday in April, an unusual yet important holiday is observed: International Be Kind to Lawyers Day. This day allows us to express gratitude to those defending us in the legal sphere. The profession of a lawyer is challenging due to many complexities. Lawyers balance between legislation and ethical standards, often facing accusations of injustice, corruption, and improper performance of their duties. The fact remains that decent professionals provide competent legal support to the public, helping achieve goals and secure fair court rulings. Congratulate them and wish them success on the legal battlefield.

History

This holiday was established in 2008 by Steve Hughes. He devoted his life to giving public speaking lessons, and many of his students were lawyers who had to make speeches to jurors or judges. Hughes noticed that people often treat these servants of the law negatively. In their defense and as a sign of support, he proposed establishing a special holiday.
