"The Law"
| "The history of law is the history of civilization, and law itself is only the blessed tie that binds human society together. ... Our long armed and hairy ancestors had no idea of redress beyond vengeance, or of justice beyond mere individual reprisal. ... The law, like everything we do and like everything we say, is a heritage from the past."1 |
