Formal Law

Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or law:

    On every formal visit a child ought to be of the party, by way of provision for discourse.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    Lawyers are necessary in a community. Some of you ... take a different view; but as I am a member of that legal profession, or was at one time, and have only lost standing in it to become a politician, I still retain the pride of the profession. And I still insist that it is the law and the lawyer that make popular government under a written constitution and written statutes possible.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
