Older lawyers prefer being called counselors  and younger ones attorneys . Ritter summarized years of studying American bar history and observing lawyer trends to explain the shades of difference between and among the terms Attorney,  Counselor,  and Lawyer  in the first Viewpoint article in this section.

He goes on to discuss many issues not dealt with elsewhere: Lawyer Personality, Nobody Loves Lawyers,  Lawyer Alcoholism.  He also writes about how lawyers make money in Referral Fees,  Taking a Piece of the Action,  and Making Money at Law.  Ritter counsels lawyers in the majority of his Viewpoint columns, all of which are available by subscribing to the monthly LAWYER VIEWPOINT column.
