When we have a strong ABA, we have strong lawyers. And when we have strong lawyers, we have a strong defense for the rule of law https://t.co/MZE4mcQHt7

On this Sept 11, I'm thinking of a column I wrote 23 years ago for @STLMetroBar. I believe its message about the power of words still resonates, as we mark yet another anniversary of that tragic day. Perhaps it will strike a chord for you as well https://t.co/qslZVVh3hC
