The Constant Struggle for Justice"It has been said, 'Justice is a constant struggle'. From an early age, I learned the truth in that quote. As a child, I watched nightly news reports of William Kunstler and others defending the Chicago 8 and dealing with a judge and prosecution intent on jailing them because they opposed the policies of the United States government. I also saw the movie, "Inherit the Wind," depicting Clarence Darrow's defense in the Scopes trial of a teacher's right to teach evolution. Together, they inspired me to be a lawyer to fight for the rights of protesters, for freedom to dissent and for the protection of the oppressed. |
