The things we hold dearest on earth - our fortunes, reputations, domestic peace, the future of those dearest to us, nay, our liberty and life itself, we confide to the integrity of our legal counselors and advocates. Their character must be not only without a stain, but without suspicion ... Let it be remembered and treasured in that heart of every student, that no man can ever be a truly great lawyer, who is not in every sense of the word, a good man.
- Chief Justice George Sharswood, Pennsylvania Supreme Court
