- Afua Hirsch: Lawyers struggle to bring about a better world but the American president reminds us why we must continue to fight the fightI have always wondered why so many politicians are lawyers. I learned a few years ago that ? while in civil law countries such as those in continental Europe most politicians are bureaucrats, in Africa many have military backgrounds, and in China many are engineers ? in England and America many of the most memorable heads of state have had backgrounds in the law.People say that one of the reasons Barack Obama has been so successful is his ability to be all things to all people. Part white American, part African, part Irish even, and with enough experience of being a black man in America to relate to African Americans, just the fact of his election offered the promise of radical change, but without alienating everyone else.Many lawyers claim him as one of their own. Obama is a lawyer's politician through and through. It's no coincidence that one of the most memorable passages from his inaugural speech spoke of the importance of returning America to its historic role in defending the rule of law.We reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world and we will not give them up for expedience's sake, Obama said last January.Politician and lawyer are not mutually exclusive. Since he took office, the disappointments and grime of political life have inevitably dimmed the sparkle. It's been a while since I saw any new R&B tracks on YouTube about being in love with Obama.But it's back when the presidency was just a twinkle in Obama's eye that I find the lawyer I admire so much.In his biography, Dreams from My Father, he said this about a career in law: The study of law can be disappointing at times, a matter of applying narrow rules and arcane procedure to an unco-operative reality; a sort of glorified accounting that serves to regulate the affairs of those who have power ? and that all too often seeks to explain, to those who do not, the ultimate wisdom and justness of their condition.But that's not all the law is. The law is also memory; the law also records a long-running conversation, a national arguing with its conscience. What is our community, and how might that community be reconciled with our freedom? How far do our obligations reach? How do we transform mere power into justice, mere sentiment into love?The answers I find in law books don't always satisfy me ? for every Brown vs Board of Education I find a score of cases where conscience is sacrificed to expedience or greed. And yet, in the conversation itself, in the joining of voices, I find myself modestly encouraged, believing that so long as the questions are still being asked, what binds us together might somehow, ultimately, prevail.Many young lawyers ? and I was one of them ? embark upon a career in law full of optimism about how their understanding of the rules underpinning society will enable them to help change it. All are disappointed by the reality of a system that is capable of producing injustice and justice in at least equal measure, and where daily practice is often more about feeling frustrated by the long arm of the rules, rather than empowered to change them.But a few lawyers continue asking the questions and fighting the fight and, if Obama is to be believed, it's the process itself that makes things better. I believe him.Barack ObamaUS constitution and civil libertiesAfua Hirschguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
