Law Practice

The aim of my blog is to interact with my readers - I want to share with you snippets about the law and the legal fraternity.  I work with and for people.
 
The law is not a chemical process or a mechanical process. A mechanism is at  the whim of the user or the abuser. For instance, a light switch, does not think. It does what it is supposed to do: it connects electricity and you have a reaction. Chemical? Try  a teaspoon of tabasco on your tongue. That is chemical and it is instantaneous.

The law is not like that at all. It is driven by people like me and you and others.

We read a lot about how the law let people down; how people can't afford legal fees; how a mother can’t get maintenance from her ex for their children. Is it the fault of the law? I don't  think so. Take the instance of a drunken driver who caused a collision and the breadwinner of a family is taken out. Who or what is to blame? Not the law. It was against the law to drink and drive. If the landlord does not repay the deposit that you paid to his company when you signed the lease agreement - is it the law that is to blame? Not at all.

Enough said.

Enjoy my blog.
