per legem ad gaudium?
--------------------
good lord... i can't believe it... the semester has just flown by... law school is just flying by... i'm officially halfway through... where's all the time gone? have i really learned anything? am i going to remember any of this when i get out there in the "real world"?
all i know for now is that i'm glad that exams are over...
maybe i can -- dare i say it? -- relax for the next few weeks...

"Law is a demanding profession. It provides lifelong challenges. There is never an opportunity to coast. It demands stamina, and occasions stress. It affords the opportunity to give back to the profession and the community through pro bono work and to help build and maintain the system of justice that is a vital element of a free country. Of course, there will be competing demands and priorities. People who are uncomfortable with the challenges, the responsibilities, and the sacrifices that must be made, should not enter this profession. They will not be happy. Those who willingly and with balance and enthusiasm cross what Lon Fuller described as 'the line where the pressure of duty leaves off and the challenge of excellence begins' should enjoy the happiness that attends such a pursuit."

Peachum: The law was made for one thing alone, for the exploitation of those who don't understand it, or are prevented by naked misery from obeying it by those who are incapable of obeying it. And anyone who wants a piece of this action for himslef must obey the law strictly.
Brown: i see, then you believe our judges are corruptible?
Peachum: not at all sir, not at all. Our judges are absolutely incorruptible; it's more than money can do to make them give a fair judgement.
