Speech.
From two tweets I did earlier today:
Hate Big Government? You fighting Racism? You dislike extremes. Group Think?
Start with Free Speech. Man's Swiss Army Knife.
@roncoleman
Speech. No more important cause. A Boomer, I still fight for causes that may surprise some Twitter folks. But none of them outweighs Speech.

Clients who come to you for price will leave for price.
In this economy, the great corporate clients we always wanted at our mid-sized firm will now come to us for our lower rates. They will never leave us. There will be Sweetness, Light and Good Crops.
--An over-served lawyer, Trevor, at an Capitol Hill bar last night.
No. Probably not. No. Not ever. Right now, it's tempting--but resist the urge to lure new clients with lower price or rates. Clients who come to you for price will leave you for price. Think about value first, price second.

Redux: Blawg Review #318, April 23, 2012.
Dan Hull @Whataboutparis, inspired by Shakespeare, inadvertently channels Hunter S. Thompson in this week's Blawg Review #318:
My name is Dan Hull. I practice law to (1) make money, (2) ensure that every day will be different than the one before, (3) to use everything I have practicing law so I can feel alive, (4) to serve sophisticated purchasers of legal services who "get it"--corporate clients with in-house counsel normally represented by much larger firms--and to put them first, and (5) treat my law practice and firm and as not just a shop but also as a laboratory for new ideas. "Immersion" is what I seek in life and work. So that my life is full, and full of surprise. For me, this is exactly what William Shakespeare (or whoever authored the works bearing his name) and Hunter Thompson had in common. It is the gift, and courage, to get us to fully participate in the story along with its creator.
"Buy the ticket. Take the ride."
- Hunter Thompson
