Criticism and as i am barked on my own legal career i resolved to maintain that same perspective theres a tendency in our profession to treat the practice of law as all consuming while losing sight of Everything Else but that makes for a shallow and unfulfilling life i worked hard as a lawyer and as a professor 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 rest of my life a similar principle applies to the role of court 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 the policy decisions and value judgments of government must be made.
