Legal Corruption

The Justice system has three principles: ethics, common sense, and laws. The best way to describe it is by comparing it to a tennis ball: The air inside the ball is ethics, the rubber surrounding it is common sense, and all the nap (tiny fibres) on the rubber are laws. 

There are many laws, like the tiny fibres making up the nap on the tennis ball, but just one rubber casing with air inside. If the nap is removed to become just a plain rubber ball, it still bounces and is usable, but the nap alone falls to pieces, like dust, for the broom or vacuum cleaner. 

The laws alone mean nothing without ethics and common sense.

Unfortunately, many legal practitioners are breaching this rule of law and obstructing justice. Every unjust decision in the court negatively impacts the economic system, not just the unsuccessful litigant. The demise of today's social and economic climate has been facilitated by unethical professional practices that have worsened through accumulation and ignorance. It is amplifying, will rapidly worsen, and must be intervened in the interest of the good people and the economy.

Matters that could be resolved in hours often take weeks; those that should take days stretch into months, and what might be resolved in months drags on for years. In some parts of the world, the legal system feels like an emotionally and financially draining scam, thinly veiled as an ethical and formal process.
