Famous quotes containing the word law:

    “If he who breaks the law is not punished, he who obeys it is cheated. This, and this alone, is why lawbreakers ought to be punished: to authenticate as good, and to encourage as useful, law-abiding behavior. The aim of criminal law cannot be correction or deterrence; it can only be the maintenance of the legal order.”
    —Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)

    “The due process of law as we use it, I believe, rests squarely on the liberal idea of conflict and resolution.”
    —June L. Trapp (b. 1930)
