The Children Act, 1989
In 1989 The Children Act was implemented. Its main goal was to
transform practices and actions relating to the wellbeing of
children in England and Wales. The Act started from the principle that
the primary responsibility foe the upbringing of the child rest with
families, and that for most children their interests will be best
served by enabling them to grow up in their own family. Although
changes brought about by the act also reflected considerable concern
and dissatisfaction with professional services for children following,
for example, the Cleveland enquiry into child abuse and deaths of
children such as Jasmine Beckford and Doreen Aston while in their
parents’ care. Also the juvenile courts were deemed inappropriate for
care proceedings, as also was the dominance of a rescue over
preventive or respite approach to dealing with children considered to
at risk in their parents care.

Supreme Court Role Law Or Justice? - 1965 Editorial
Should the U.S. Supreme Court be a place of justice, or of law?
Many Americans, including myself, have two minds concerning the conflict between justice and law. Unfortunately, the two are not synonymous.
In the hand of shysters, bureaucrats, and grafters our laws are dangerous weapons. Somewhere the spirit of the law must prevail over arbitrary letters.
Yet, the personal convictions of men beyond reach of the electorate can not be allowed to transcend the will of the people as expressed by duly elected representatives.
