Attorney Gerry Spence is the guy who made me consider becoming a lawyer. He's widely recognized by other lawyers as one of the greatest trial lawyers of all time. He represented the the family of probably-murdered whistle-blower Karen Silkwood, and Earth First Founder, David Foreman.
He also defended Randy Weaver -- a very unpopular defendant. Weaver was said to be a neo-nazi, white supremacist. A close friend of Spence's asked him to withdraw from the case. Spence's reply (linked below) is a lesson in integrity.
Everyone should read it.
I hope you will.
