Justice, Jurisdiction Quotes

To understand Kougami means to think the way he does. To see the world through his eyes. <...> "When you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you." Kougami stared into the darkness for too long. And he's still staring into it even now. Maybe for him, the only true justice in the world exists solely in the depths of that darkness.

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...

Copy quote

Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land,
Where justice is a game.

Justice is truth in action.

Copy quote

Benjamin Disraeli

Truth

— Would you tell us from your own experience... the position of the judge in Germany prior to the advent of Adolf Hitler.
— The position of the judge was one of complete independence.
— Now, would you describe the contrast, if any after the coming to power of National Socialism in 1933?
— Judges became subject to something outside of objective justice. They became subject to what was necessary for the protection of the country. <...> The first consideration of the judge... became the punishment of acts rather than objective consideration of the case.

Trials are too important to be left up to juries.

For Man's grim Justice goes its way,
And will not swerve aside:
It slays the weak, it slays the strong,
It has a deadly stride:
With iron heel it slays the strong,
The monstrous parricide!

Life Quotes

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to have an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.
If you are not a United States citizen, you may contact your country's consulate prior to any questioning.
Do you understand these rights?

— He's not king here. Not in Sherwood.
— You're the ruler, are you? Should I bow?
— I wouldn't have you in my service, nobleman. I've known your kind all my life. You're everything I meant to fight. You're the enemy. You gobble good red meat, and we get bread and cheese. The laws can't touch you, and there's no crime you can be punished for.

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.
