A Call for People-Centered Legal Systems and Tailoring Justice to Our Society

That is how we have been able to understand truth and justice. I am happy with the adoption of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. It is not primarily the responsibility of lawyers, but it would be helpful if legal professionals understood our people's perspectives. That way, when we enact legislation, it will be well received.
