Court, Judges Quotes

I'm judge and i'm jury and i'm executioner too.

Lady justice has been raped,
Truth assasin,
Rolls of red tape seal you lips.
Now you done in
Their money tips her scales again
Make your real.
Just what is truth? I cannot tell,
Cannot feel...

Sad Quotes

This is about justice.

When I was a cop, I had a lot of people change their minds about testifying in court, and it always came down to one of three reasons — fear, confusion, or they were paid off.

The illusion is that all your problems are solved in a courtroom. The reality is that even when you win, you don't win. Right has nothing to do with the real world.

— Surely the holy inquisition need not sully its hands with a common whore? It is a matter for the state, don't you think?
— I leave this woman to Venice which richly deserves her.

Trials are too important to be left up to juries.

Justice, Jurisdiction

Go home, sharpen your knives. It'll still be on tomorrow.

Ironic Quotes

Courtroom... It's the only place where the little guy can go toeto-toe on a level field with a big, crooked corporation. A person with nothing — no money, no power — nothing but a set of facts can file a lawsuit and force a billion-dollar company to show up for a fair fight.

Justice, Equity

Victory And Winners

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already.

No more be grieved at that which thou hast done:
Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud,
Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun,
And loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud.

All men make faults, and even I in this,
Authrizing thy trespass with compare,
Myself corrupting salving thy amiss,
Excusing thy sins more than their sins are;

For to thy sensual fault I bring in sense -
Thy adverse party is thy advocate -
And 'gainst myself a lawful plea commence:
Such civil war is in my love and hate

That I an ccessary needs must be
To that sweet thief which sourly robs from me.

You'd have made a good lawyer. I would have loved to have you practice in front of me. But you went a different way, partner. It has been a tragedy for this court to see the total waste of humanity that we have experienced here.
