The judge is forced for the most part to reach his audience through the medium of the press whose reporting of judicial decisions is all too often inaccurate and superficial.

The judicial system is the most expensive machine ever invented for finding out what happened and what to do about it.

To the extent that the judicial profession becomes the daily routine of deciding cases on the most secure precedents and the narrowest grounds available, the judicial mind atrophies and its perspective shrinks.

Good reporting is good reporting, regardless of the newness or oldness of the medium.

The ideal is to have the losing party feel that he is not the victim of the judge, but simply the object of a profession that is the same for all.

Courtrooms contain every symbol of authority that a set designer could imagine. Everyone stands up when you come in. You wear a costume identifying you as, if not quite divine, someone special.
