every day in 2016, write a sentence or a paragraph or a poem that inspires or appreciates
Judges!
Not the book in the Bible, although that's a fine institution itself, but the women and men who sit on the bench and wear the robe, and who adjudicate how the law applies in specific cases and in classes of cases. Overall we are well served by these men and women who do not make the law, who do not enforce the law, but who referee how cases proceed, and who sentence convicted people, and who later review what has been done in lower courts and whether it has been done well. By and large, they apply the law, which is what we ask of them, and now and then they apply the law with mercy, and I am awed.
