Justice


 [I]t is revolting to have no better reason for a rule of law than that it was laid down in the time of Henry IV. It is still more revolting if the grounds upon which it was laid down have vanished long since, and the rule simply persists through blind imitation of the past.
  Oliver Wendell Holmes

 A defendant on trial for a specific crime is entitled to his day in court, not in a stadium or a city or nationwide arena.

 A lawyer's relationship to justice and wisdom is on a par with a piano tuner's relationship to a concert. He neither composes the music, nor interprets it-he merely keeps the machinery running.

 A society that has more justice is a society that needs less charity.
  Ralph Nader

 A trial is still an ordeal by battle. For the broadsword there is the weight of evidence; for the battle-ax the force of logic; for the sharp spear, the blazing gleam of truth; for the rapier, the quick and flashing knife of wit.

 Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door
  Charles Dickens

 Charity isn't a good substitute for justice

 Concepts of justice must have hands and feet or they remain sterile abstractions. The hands and feet we need are efficient means and methods to carry out justice in every case in the shortest possible time and at the lowest possible cost.
  Warren E. Burger

 Every law is an infraction of liberty.
  Jeremy Bentham

 Every law is an infraction of liberty.
  Jeremy Bentham

 Existing rules and principles can give us our present location, our bearings, our latitude and longitude. The inn that shelters for the night is not the journey's end. The law, like the traveler, must be ready for the morrow. It must have a principle of growth.
  Benjamin Cardozo

 Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting a bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian

 Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting a bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian

 For a justice of this ultimate tribunal, the opportunity for self-discovery and the occasion for self-revelation is usually great.
  Abe Fortas

 Four things support the world: the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the good, and the valor of the brave
  Muhammad Ali
