• The legal system we have and the rule of law are far more responsible for our traditional liberties than any system of one man one vote. Any country or Government which wants to proceed towards tyranny starts to undermine legal rights and undermine the law.

• La confidencialidad del proceso judicial no importaría mucho para comprender y evaluar el sistema jurídico si las consecuencias del comportamiento judicial pudieran determinarse fácilmente. Si se puede determinar la madurez de un melón exprimiéndolo u oliéndolo, no hay que preocuparse por los procesos mentales del empleado.

• I agree with Peter Drucker that the culture and legal systems of the United Statesare especially favorable to shareholder interests, compared to other interests and compared to most other countries. Indeed, there are many other countries where any good going to public shareholders has a very low priority and almost every other constituency stands higher in line.

• Exactly who is this God character who is said to be all-powerful yet needs to hire lawyers to take us to court? Isn't he miffed when someone he had always considered to be a true follower turns to the legal system rather than to prayer? Why would the faithful risk making God look ridiculous by losing a trial on Earth when he is certain to win every trial in heaven?

• The weaknesses and biases of the international mechanisms of accountability make it seem desirable to extend the domain of accountability by empowering domestic courts to act as agents of the world legal system. Even if there is no consistent application of Universal Jurisdiction, it still leads those who might be prosecuted to alter their travel plans to avoid even the complication of waiting for a complaint to be dismissed.

• Just like we respect your legal system, you [europeans] should respect our legal system. You cannot impose your values on us, otherwise the world will become the law of the jungle. Every society decides what its laws are, and it's the people who make decisions with regards to these laws.

• We have a legal system, and this is not something that happens all the time. We have capital punishment. America has capital punishment. Iran has capital punishment. Iran hangs people and leaves their bodies hanging on cranes. Iran put to death more than a thousand people last year. I don't see EU reporting on it.

• I think our legal system needs to be developed. Cases of citizens who are detained and then have to wait much too long for a trial - that is scary, for everyone. When someone commits a crime he needs to be charged quickly. Why does this take so long in many cases? I don't know. Is it because our legal system is still rudimentary? China has promised to modernize its legal system. This has high priority.

• Escocia siempre ha sido independiente. Tenemos nuestro propio sistema jurídico, nuestra propia cultura; no veo el problema. Somos diferentes y creo que deberíamos celebrar esas diferencias dentro de la unión. Veo lo que se perdería, pero no veo necesariamente lo que se ganaría con la ruptura. Lo que sí me molesta es no poder votar en Escocia.

• In fact, the legal system is in part responsible for their very size and growth. And too often when the individual finds himself in conflict with these forces, the legal system sides with the giant institution, not the small businessman or private citizen.

• Hay otra persona que sólo habla en una lengua africana, y hay muchas personas que sólo hablan en lenguas africanas; esa persona queda excluida de todas las ventajas del inglés. E incluso en términos de justicia, códigos legales, el sistema jurídico. Una persona que no sepa inglés en África queda excluida de ese sistema porque sólo puede operar mediante actos de traducción.

• There will be gay couples; it will exist. It is not very nice that people who are married - who divorce in three seconds - don’t want protection for the others. The legal system should protect everyone, not just the few people who think they are above everybody else because they are married.

• Una cosa que sé por experiencia personal es que los jueces odian que las partes hablen públicamente de sus casos. Hay muchas cosas de nuestro sistema jurídico penal que hay que cambiar, y ésta es sólo una de ellas. Los fiscales saben cómo jugar con la prensa. La mayoría de los acusados no.

• To summarize: Americans have one of the greatest legal systems, but not a monopoly of the sense of justice, which is universal; nor have we a permanent copyright on the means of securing justice, for it is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive.

• I have no doubt that if an actual ticking bomb situation were to arise, our law enforcement authorities would torture. The real debate is whether such torture should take place outside of our legal system or within it. The answer to this seems clear: If we are to have torture, it should be authorized by the law.

• I think the reality is that copyright law has for a very long time been a tiny little part of American jurisprudence, far removed from traditional First Amendment jurisprudence, and that made sense before the Internet. Now there is an unavoidable link between First Amendment interests and the scope of copyright law. The legal system is recognizing for the first time the extraordinary expanse of copyright regulation and its regulation of ordinary free-speech activities.
