Abstract

I graduated from law school in 1970 and I’ve been proud every day since of being a lawyer. My father was a lawyer, as are our two sons, and I’ve always seen lawyers as democracy’s warriors: the people who protect rights and by protecting rights protect justice. You law students are the future democracy warriors—actually, the future of democracy full stop—so this lecture is dedicated to you and to the hope that you will make justice your transcendent preoccupation, no matter what you decide to do with your law degree. You are, after all, in law school where you have a window on what the law says—guided by your professors—and a window on what the law looks like outside the walls of your classrooms—guided by watching the news.

法治：法律对生活的同情应用

我1970年从法学院毕业，自从成为一名律师以来，我每天都感到自豪。我父亲是一名律师，我们的两个儿子也是，我一直把律师视为民主的战士：保护权利的人，通过保护权利来保护正义。你们法律系的学生是未来的民主战士——实际上，民主的未来是句号——所以本次讲座是献给你们的，希望你们能把正义作为你们的首要任务，无论你们决定如何处理法律学位。毕竟，在法学院，你有一扇了解法律规定的窗户——由你的教授指导——还有一扇了解教室墙外法律的窗户——通过看新闻指导。

期刊介绍： The Canadian Journal of Law & Jurisprudence serves as a forum for special and general jurisprudence and legal philosophy. It publishes articles that address the nature of law, that engage in philosophical analysis or criticism of legal doctrine, that examine the form and nature of legal or judicial reasoning, that investigate issues concerning the ethical aspects of legal practice, and that study (from a philosophical perspective) concrete legal issues facing contemporary society. The journal does not use case notes, nor does it publish articles focussing on issues particular to the laws of a single nation. The Canadian Journal of Law & Jurisprudence is published on behalf of the Faculty of Law, Western University.
