On occasion miracles do take place. However, maxims were given to us so we would not permit the unusual or bizarre from outweighing common sense in our courts. If a miracle actually takes place, then let the party asserting the miracle meet his burden to prove the miracle took place. Never is it just for a court to believe impossibilities exists. To allow such divergence from our legal maxims is to undermine our entire legal system and open the door to all sorts of travesties and crimes against justice.
Truth is the essence of justice.
Without truth justice cannot exist. Hold fast, America. Let the self-evident truth of our legal maxims guide you in your quest for justice. Lift the lamp higher. Teach the maxims of law.
