History has proven that justice is not inevitable but rather a result of the concerted, intentional effort of dedicated people. While people sometimes equate the law with justice, they are not synonymous. The law itself is only a system capable of engendering great progress and great oppression. As a lawyer, I have dedicated myself to using the law as a tool to bend systems towards the ends of social, legal and economic justice.
