“Discourage
litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point
out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser ––
in fees, and expenses, and waste of time. As a peace-maker the lawyer
has a superior opertunity of being a good man. There will still be business
enough.”
