1. The law needs to be believed, otherwise it will be in vain. No behavior is more harmful to a society than judges bending the law for personal gain. Judicial corruption, even if it is partial corruption, is also a stain on the source of justice. Judicial independence is the prerequisite for judicial impartiality. Everyone cannot be a judge in his own affairs. There is no justice where the will rather than the law governs. Procedure determines the fundamental difference between the rule of law and the rule of will. ——May Douglas
