Just a few thoughts....
The strength of a society lies in several elements namely a good government, pro-active citizens and strong unbiased upholder of the law.
I just want to touch on the topic of the ¡°strong unbiased upholder of the law¡± because I am just not interested in the other two. In ¡°strong unbiased upholder of the law¡±, I refer more specifically to the Judiciary. As a society gets more sophisticated, law is often used as a means to protect oneself so the strength of one¡¯s protection lies in the strength of the Judiciary in consistently interpreting statutes and applying the rule of law.
So, we look to the Courts where law is interpreted. Judges sitting in the Courts should take pride in the fact that they are able to view the turn of events put forth by legal representatives with an unbiased and non-prejudicial manner. A good Judge cannot be having pre-conceived notions about a party just because ¡°I like his countenance not¡±. Justice is blind is something one is familiar yet often misquoted.
To be a good arbiter, that Judge should always reason why he/she came to a decision or the verdict. One can learn more about a Judge from the judgments that he/she passed. The strength in the application of reason and logic in the interpretation of statutes and case law differentiates the good and the bad arbiters. A good Judge never blabbers his/her verdict without properly justifying his/her reasons for doing so.
A good Judge would also learn to discard frivolous claims made by parties. The Judiciary is not a place where frivolous claims are brought for the purposes of smearing and slandering. Of course, very often such cases are even thrown out before it even has the chance to reach the ears of a Judge. But the point remains that frivolity has no place in the Judiciary.
A however thorny issue remains as to the constitution of a Judge. Would a white Judge be in favour of a white claimant more than the black defendant? What does an upper class Judge know about the feelings of a lower-class complainant. What if the defendant is an acquaintance of that Judge? Such conflict of interests can be resolved by simply removing that Judge but it however places a doubt on that Judge¡¯s integrity.
To thread the path of a good Judge is demanding and sometimes lonely. You seek no favour and you should owe no allegiance to no one save for your oath to serve the Judiciary honourably. These are just the few issues that one has to consider when assessing the credibility of the Court and the Judiciary. A good Judge should never allow his/her Court to be made a mockery out of it.
Cheerio to the Judiciary. -
