Famous quotes containing the words legal and/or proceedings:

    “Lawyers are necessary in a community. Some of you ... take a different view; but as I am a member of that legal profession, or was at one time, and have only lost standing in it to become a politician, I still retain the pride of the profession. And I still insist that it is the law and the lawyer that make popular government under a written constitution and written statutes possible.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    “From his proceedings in Congress, he appears demented, and his actings and doings inspire my pity more than anger.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
