We selected nine Lawyers of the Year for portraits and asked them to share a favorite quotation and to tell us why they love what they do. These profiles appeared along with Woodward/White’s annual Best Lawyers in America list, as published in our November issue.

“We all have a responsibility to create a just society.” — Bryan Stevenson

Why do you love what you do? “Despite the anomaly of being a lawyer at a time when the courthouse doors are just beginning to reopen, I still love what I do at Jackson Lewis. Workplace law is all about working with clients who really work so hard to make their workplaces fair and safe under ever more challenging conditions. It is a privilege to be a lawyer, and an even greater privilege to practice in New Hampshire.”
