Are you being sarcastic? Ask any divorced dad if there is equity and fairness. Maybe in the division of the estate, but ask them about custody and child support. No equity or fairness there...yet!!!
Excellent nitpick. It wasn't Thurgood Marshall, but I neglected to look the damn quote up relying on my obviously less-than-solid memory. Thanks for pointing it out.
i'm simply saying the court has the ability to be much more flexible in family law matters...plus, most divorces are done in an agreed fashion, anyway.
Where did I say anything about the jury interpreting the law? I think that people who listen to arguments with the purpose of discovering the truth for a living would be better at it than the twelve people who couldn't get out of jury duty.
