How have courts treated a claim that a calling is more honorable than another calling?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Mowrer v. Superior Court (Ledesma), 155 Cal.App.3d 262, 201 Cal.Rptr. 893 (Cal. App. 1984):

"The idea of one calling enjoying peculiar privileges, and therefore being more honorable than any other, is not congenial to our institutions. And that any class should be paid for their particular services in empty honors, is an obsolete idea, belonging to another age and to a state of society hostile to liberty and equal rights." (Webb v. Baird, supra, 6 Ind., at p. 16.)
