Famous quotes containing the word law:

    “It is time that we start thinking about foundational issues: about our attitudes toward fair trials... Who are the People in a multicultural society?... The victims of discrimination are now organized. Blacks, Jews, gays, women—they will no longer tolerate second-class status. They seek vindication for past grievances in the trials that take place today, the new political trial.”
    —George P. Fletcher, U.S. law educator. With Justice for Some, p. 6, Addison-Wesley (1995)

    “Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a man’s nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.”
    —Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
