If you have children, you probably hear that a lot.
Children have an innate sense of fairness and are quick to spot injustices, real and imagined.
Part of growing up, unfortunately, is understanding that life often is not fair. But all of us retain that ideal of fairness, the desire that in any dispute we have the chance to tell our side of the story, to someone who is impartial, and will make the decisions based on the facts. That simple premise protecting fundamental fairness is one of the cornerstones of our legal system. This year, on May 1, Law Day, as we celebrate St. Thomas Carnival, let us also celebrate our freedoms protected by law, the right to express our opinion, select our leaders, worship where we choose, and pursue our livelihood. We should be reflect on how the law also protects our freedom from injustice.
