“I remember what it was like to grow up in the South in the 1960s and 1970s. Discrimination isn’t something that’s easy to oppose. It doesn’t always stare you in the face. It moves in the shadows. And sometimes it shrouds itself within the very laws meant to protect us.” SometimesRememberFacesMovingLawGrowsEasyGrowing UpProtectShadowSouthDiscriminationStaring1960sShrouds Author:Tim Cook
“In New Haven, Conn., when I was growing up, there were two sorts of Irish. There were the "drugstore cowboy" micks, who hung around the Elm Street poolroom over Longley's Lunch. And there were the earnest young Irishmen who fought their way up from the Grand Avenue saloonkeeper backgrounds of their fathers, went through Yale Law School, and have now found high place by the preferment of local politics or in the teaching profession.” WayTwoBookSchoolLawYoungFoundFatherGrowing UpGrowingStreetsTeachingHavensProfessionBackgroundsLocalsLunchHungCowboyEarnestAvenuesLaw SchoolYaleHigh PlacesIrishmenTeaching Profession Book:Studs Lonigan Source: Studs Lonigan

“Thus, at long last, as a visible emblem of unity was daily growing in the new Palace of Justice then being erected in the Strand, half way between the historic site of Westminster the historic centre of the commercial capital of the world, there began to grow up, in the minds of reformers, the vision of a great and united Supreme Court of Justice, with uniform principles, uniform law, and uniform procedure.” WorldWayMindLongLastsLawGrowsJusticeUnitedHalfVisionPrinciplesGrowing UpGrowingCourtUnitySupremeVisibleUniformsSiteCentreSupreme CourtHistoricPalacesProceduresStrandsReformersEmblemsHalf WayWestminster Author:Edward Jenks
“I was always attracted to the type of cinema hero as an adolescent growing up in Ireland. Robert Mitchum springs to mind. Later on, it was Steve McQueen to a certain extent and Charles Bronson. They're these types of grizzled characters who had one foot on the side of law and order and the other foot in the bad guy's camp.” MindCharacterLawGuyCertainOrderSidesGrowing UpGrowingFeetTypeHeroSpringCinemaCampsIrelandBad GuysLaw And OrderMcqueen Author:Liam Neeson
