Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Judiciary: At the Annual Banquet of the Dialectic and Philanthropic Societies of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, May 30, 1908 By the invitation with which I have been honored to speak before this very intelligent audience upon the subject of the judiciary, a topic has been assigned me which is singularly suggestive of interesting reflections. At the same time, in view of the largeness of the subject, I recognize the difficulty of satisfactorily discussing it within the limits appropriate to an occasion like the present. One of the earliest and loftiest conceptions of God is as the Great Judge Eternal of the Universe; and so, the most exalted function with which a man can be entrusted is the administration of justice to his fellow beings. Hence, it has been said by a great philosopher that, in the performance of their official duties, Judges "should imitate God, in whose seat they sit." It is doubtless because of these high and exacting requirements that, as was said in connection with Chief Justice Marshall, "the world has produced fewer instances of truly great Judges than it has of great men in almost any other department of life." The Judicial Office is as old as organized society. Originally, it was filled, in person, by the head of the community - whether Priest, Patriarch or King - who proudly styled himself the "Fountain of Justice." Later on, as states became more populous and society more complex, the administration of justice had to be entrusted to personal representatives of the sovereign, taken from the body of the people; and thus was first formed the Judiciary, an institution, which, in one form or another, is, and for time out of mind has been, common to all governments.
