“There's a difference between just gaining access to a commodity as opposed to a spirit that allows us to live a life of love and justice, that when crisis and catastrophe hits you, that the biggest mansion in the world is not going to help you.

“It is a privilege to be recognized by FDLA. I am a staunch believer that as a member of the Bar, we have the great privilege to represent clients in all facets of our practice, and that includes making the commitment to represent clients for whom access to representation and ultimately justice is limited by economics.

Those who feel marginalized, those who feel excluded, eventually react in an effort to get their own justice, and we have conflict.” FeelsJusticeAbilityEffortConflictResourcesCapacityAccessFewerCompetingExcludedMarginalizedControllers Author:Wangari Maathai
