We are at that point now when it comes to protecting our judicial system by the legal community and by legal leaders. In today’s podcast I ask the question, what if we, the lawyers, who are responsible for promoting and defending the rule of law, continue to ignore the warnings? What path will our society be led down when our very rights and freedoms are in danger?
