I owed that to my clients, to my students and to myself. But i never let the law define my identity or crowd out the less rest of my life. A similar principle al applies to the rule of courts. Courts have a vital responsibility to the rule of law which is critical to a free society but courts are not designed to solve every problem or right every wrong in our public life.
