Come so far. It is those same principles that guide us farther still cared was both that understand that powers derived from the people and not from government. Calvin coolidge understood this in his own time. Andive in an age of science the value of material things. This did not great our declaration. Our declaration created them. The spirit come first. Unless we cling to that, all of our material prosperity will turn to a barren scepter in our grass. He was right. The things of the spirit do come first. We must act now to protect them. The temptation to ask richard and his fractious battles from practical terms, it would only matter to those who value religious freedom and that was won over the course of centuries of persecution and blood. We should not surrender without a fight. The word religious they would is a war over free speech. Without the first, there is no such thing as a second.

I hope there are some of you who will have more than one career in the course of their working lives and i ho
An expert in hand surgery without knowing much about the rest of the human body, so also one can become expert in various segments of the law without knowing much about the rest. We should call the former a hand surgeon rather than a doctor; and the latter a realestate conveyancer, or h r block, but not a lawyer. Those of you who have walked the streets of paris may have noticed signs here and there. Jurisconsult. Not avocats, lawyers. I am not even sure whether one must pass an exam or have any special training to work in such hang out a sign. I suspect not. None of you who are being graduated today is being certified an expert in patent or employment law. You are instead receiving degrees that attest to your successful completion of a sustained threeyear study of law. The mastery of that subject is what turns the student into a legal professional. This is the traditional view, well expressed by an earlier, and wiser, aba panel in 1921. And i quote Legal Education , should produce a r
