Thankful for Our Legal System

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is the day we ask ourselves "what are we thankful for?" I know the economy is not at the level of productivity we like and for many of us this has been a year of struggling through many personal and professional challenges.

I am thankful for our legal system during years like this. It gives individuals and companies the assistance to overcome some the obstacles our economy has presented them.

Our system helps people obtain help with their finances (bankruptcy); protects the rights of individuals and victims (criminal system); protects property rights (civil law, landlord/tenant, foreclosure); and has a role in families (juvenile, family, adoption).

Our system is not perfect. I can't say that I know all about other countries and their legal systems, but I am thankful that our system. I am thankful for the system that gives everyone a voice. The outcomes may not make everyone happy, but it does give everyone a chance to be heard.

So, what are you thankful for today? No matter what it is, have a great day just giving thanks!
