| Introduction | I am a 74-year-old semi-retired trial lawyer and former judge. My life has been a journey from poverty and abandonment to self-reliance and just plain luck. For close to 60 years (yes, I started early) I have been a student of government, political philosophy, the history and development of the law and its purposes. The primary reason that law exists is to further justice and equality. When we fail at that, the law is headed in the wrong direction. All just societies search for ways to preserve and increase justice and equality for all. All unjust societies search for ways to retain or increase injustice and inequality. I am writing a book I title, "Now I'm an Old Romantic, The Education of a Liberal." It is a memoir that ends with what I've learned. |
