Law is always going to be a compromise and it is true that those with the loudest voices will finish up designing the law. But its been my experience that when the law has produced something really unfair it has been not because of a fault in the law but because those with most money can hire the best lawyers - the little people tend not to be able to afford the appeals. Unfortunately those with the most money tend to be able to appoint the judges as well - from the top to the bottom of the system and whatever the system of judicial appointment in the nation you live in. So on the whole I'll trust law over individual judges. But law evolves like the rest of life so maybe we'll find a way to improve it if we ever find a way to improve ourselves kathryn
