Law Offence

Famous quotes containing the words law and/or offence:

    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)

    Without, or with, offence to friends or foes,
    I sketch your world exactly as it goes.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
