Law States

Famous quotes containing the words law and/or states:

    I do not believe in lawyers, in that mode of attacking or defending a man, because you descend to meet the judge on his own ground, and, in cases of the highest importance, it is of no consequence whether a man breaks a human law or not. Let lawyers decide trivial cases.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The one who first states a case seems right, until the other comes and cross-examines.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 18:17.
