On April 12, an unusual necessary holiday is celebrated: International Be Kind to Lawyers Day, which allows us to express gratitude to those defending us in the legal sphere. This profession is difficult due to many subtleties. Lawyers balance on the edge between legislation and ethical standards, faced with accusations of injustice, corruption, and improper performance of official duties. Fact — decent professionals provide competent legal support to the population, helping you achieve goals and a fair court ruling. Congratulate them, wish them success on the legal battlefield.
The History
This holiday appeared in 2008, started by Steve Hughes. He devoted his life to giving public speaking lessons. His students were lawyers who had to make speeches to jurors or judges. Hughes noticed people treat these servants of the law negatively. In their defense and as a sign of support, he proposed to establish a special holiday.
