"Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often the real loser - in fees, expenses and waste of time. As a peacemaker, the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man [person]." Abraham Lincoln Without the ERA no woman has the Constitutional guarantee of equality. Brad Berger
