Love Litigating Lawyers Day is a day to honor lawyers. Passed by the American Bar Association Practice Council in October 2015, it’s a day for recognizing their efforts in protecting the public good and administration of justice.
The resolution aims at removing the stereotypes that literature has portrayed lawyers as, including those who are heartless, cruel, and don’t care about the after effects of their clients. It also outlines how lawyers have contributed greatly to society by defending people in minor legal cases, resolving disputes, and helping people understand the law better.
A Gallup survey back in 2014 has shown that the perception of lawyers has been increasingly negative, as a total of 21% of surveyors believe that lawyers are truly honest and ethical in their actions.
This holiday, however, also specifically aims its appreciation at litigators, a subsect of lawyer that litigation law. Litigation law refers to rules and practices to help resolve disputes in court and is most often associated with tort cases. Litigation, however, can be applied in all kinds of cases, and a litigation attorney helps see through a lawsuit in the court process.
Litigators, on this day, are usually thanked through bouquets and gifts, but the purpose of this holiday is to begin changing the perspectives of how lawyers are viewed throughout society, as they are the representatives of the law and help defend those in need.
