JUDICIAL ACTIVISM
“ As a society increases in size , sophistication , and technology , the body of laws which is required to control that society also increases in size , scope , and complexity . With this growth , the law directly affects more and more facets of individual behavior , creating an expanding need for legal services on the part of the individual members of the society .... As legal guidance in social and commercial behavior increasingly becomes necessary , there will come a concurrent demand from the layman that such guidance be made available to him . This demand will not come from those who are able to employ the best of legal talent , nor from those who can obtain legal assistance at little or no cost . It will come from the large ‘ forgotten middle income class ’, who can neither afford to pay proportionately large fees nor qualify for ultralow-cost services . The legal profession must recognize this inevitable demand and consider methods whereby it can be satisfied . If the profession fails to provide such methods , the laity will .”
~ Excerpted from “ Providing Legal Services for the Middle Class in Civil Matters : The Problem , the Duty , and a Solution ”, 26 University of Pittsburgh Law Review , 811-12 ( 1965 ). ( Emphasis added .)
“ The issue is not whether we shall do something or do nothing . The demand for ordinary everyday legal justice is so great and the moral nature of the demand is so strong that the issue has become whether we devise , maintain , and support suitable agencies able to satisfy the demand or , by our own default , force the government to take over the job , supplant us , and ultimately dominate us .”
~ Smith , Legal Service Offices for Persons of Moderate Means , 1949 . Wisconsin Law Review 416 , 418 ( 1949 ). ( Emphasis added .)
Everything in South Africa is about CONTRACTS and it is our burden as Africans to make government perform honourably ; to be specific , and to prohibit them from changing the meaning of common words , which is referred to in their circle of friends as “ legalese ”. The law does not protect those who slumber on their rights ; and ,
“ Just as nature abhors a vacuum , so does the Constitution , completely .”
~ The Strange Alchemy between Life and Law , Albie Sachs , retired Constitutional
Judge and father of the bill of rights
There is a vacuum and that vacuum is natural law , the living law of the land , international common law , customary law , and oral tradition .
