Jimmy Carter, Proclamation 4499 (1977)
“ Our commitment to the law deepens when we know that justice will not be delayed, denied, or dispensed with favoritism.Our respect for the law grows when we are confident that it will remain a true champion of our basic liberties.The duty of the legal profession is to help rather than to hamper the pursuit of these goals.And the duty of each citizen is to work peacefully to bring about any changes in the law or its administration that might be needed to assure fair and objective treatment for all. ”
