Appeals Courts

Famous quotes containing the words appeals and/or courts:

“Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.”
—Truman Capote (1924–1984)

“Some marriages depend on domestic arguments the way the courts depend on litigation.”
