Remember that the actions of a few, with commitment, can alter the course of world history. - Joni Madraiwiwi

All our communities have to make the effort to reach out to each other rather than waiting passively for gestures that may never be made. We need to write our stories and sing our songs together not necessarily in unison or in tune but in a way that makes space for all of us.

This privileged position (lawyer) obliges you to remember that most of the population cannot afford your services or fees. As a consequence they are denied access to justice. It therefore behoves the legal profession to consider practical ways of alleviating this unacceptable state of affairs.

However social integration cannot be forced and not proceed at the pace that the community considers uncomfortable.
