"Those of us who live in societies where the common law is entrenched, where there is in fact an independent judiciary, and where basic courtesies and freedoms appear to be extended between man and man, take these things perhaps for granted. There is a need for us as judges and as practitioners and as students, as governmental authorities and as a community at large from time to time not to make assumptions but to stand back, go back to square one and to examine fundamentals; to understand the Ciceronian truism that we must all be slaves to the law in order to be free."<ref>[http://www.hk-lawyer.org/en/article.asp?articleid=2416&c=115 Interview with Hong Kong Lawyer magazine, October 2014]</ref> |
