The law is a funny creature, isnât it? Men conceive it, but somehow it goes on to become greater than men. In a world of such terrible complexity and mutability, law attempts to resist nuance and change. If all we are is the law...do we become something less than human? Become our own creation rather than itâs creators?... We need laws to protect us from our own wickedness. But should not a man wield the law as he does a sword--with skill and judgement and restraint, knowing when to strike home but also knowing when to give quarter--rather than be wielded by it?â
