Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.

To force a lawyer on a defendant can only lead him to believe that the law contrives against him.

Swift justice demands more than just swiftness.

Newspapers, television networks, and magazines have sometimes been outrageously abusive, untruthful, arrogant, and hypocritical. But it hardly follows that elimination of a strong and independent press is the way to eliminate abusiveness . . .

It must always be remembered that what the Constitution forbids is not all searches and seizures, but unreasonable searches and seizures.

For the Fourth Amendment protects people, not places. What a person knowingly exposes to the public, even in his own home or office, is not a subject of Fourth Amendment protection. But what he seeks to preserve as private, even in an area accessible to the public, may be constitutionally protected.

Fairness is what justice really is.
