Be Kind to Lawyers Day
April 8, Tuesday
History of the holiday
Be Kind to Lawyers Day was created by American Steve Hughes in 2008. Hughes, a specialist in professional communications, thought about how difficult it is to be a lawyer: many people perceive representatives of this profession negatively, associating them with conflicts and litigation. He decided that lawyers deserve at least one day a year when their work will be recognized and appreciated in a positive way.
Lawyers Kindness Day is an opportunity to look at the legal profession from a different perspective. It reminds us that lawyers play an important role in ensuring justice and law and order. Despite their strict professional image, they also need recognition and support.
