Ethics and Professional Responsibility Law, Phoenix

Now in his 51st year of practicing law, Mark I. Harrison has set a standard in work relating to lawyers’ ethics, judicial ethics, professionalism and the level of practice that lawyers adhere to.

Since earning his JD from Harvard Law School in 1960, Harrison has become a go-to attorney for helping fellow lawyers and judges who were facing the end of their professional careers. In addition, he has enjoyed trying numerous pro bono cases during his lengthy career.

“When you are able to achieve a meaningful result for a client who, without your help would not have been able to vindicate his or her rights, it somehow means more,” says Harrison, who has encouraged his law students and young lawyer colleagues to pursue pro bono work.

He credits a large measure of his success to having a good start in life provided by his mother and father, also an attorney.

“I also share credit with my mentors and partners, and attribute my professional achievements to hard work,” Harrison says.

Harrison serves as chair of the national board of directors of ‘Justice At Stake’, a national organization devoted to preserving fair and impartial courts.

He believes that law is a noble profession, and that lawyers stand between government accesses and the rights of the people.

“If you look back in the nation’s history, you find that people who have been major contributors to the success of our democracy were lawyers,” Harrison says. “We vindicate the rights of the accused and oppressed.”
