What law? I did not give it up -- it has ceased to exist. But I am
still working in the profession I had chosen, which was that of serving
the cause of justice ... No, justice has not ceased to exist. How could
it? It is possible for men to abandon their sight of it, and then it
is justice that destroys them. But it is not possible for justice to
go out of existence, because one is an attribute of the other, because
justice is the act of acknowledging that which exists.
-- Judge Narragansett
