Our lawyers had their chat with the Supreme Court Justice, and promised to repast the chat to other members of the Supreme Court to find out whether they wanted to hear us out.
Old gardeners never die. They just spade away and then throw in the trowel.
We have learned that social injustice is the destruction of justice itself.
Who ever walked behind anyone to freedom? If we can't go hand in hand, I don't want to go.
There's something almost impossible about the criminal justice system when it comes to sexual assault cases. It immediately sets up a trial, where witnesses may have been drunk or maybe there were no witnesses and maybe there's no evidence.
Justice required resort to law and that could be a fickle mistress, subject always to the whims and prejudices of those who administered the laws.

I told the attorneys that I had been raped in hopes that it would speed things up in the court system. However, the wheels of justice turn remotely very slow and a women can just stay pregnant for so long.
Justice is no longer a concern of the justice system.

If money doesn't come with misery, then it's not at all interesting and it's not at all fair. It seems if you have all this money, and no misery, you're really in a world of unalloyed happiness, and that seems to violate some deep principle of universal justice. We tend to live in a culture now where people have unbelievable, inconceivable amounts of money without any kind of remorse.
I would sooner receive injustice in the Queen's courts than justice in a foreign court.
