EQUAL JUSTICE
The Judges of the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit invite you to help protect the health and safety of our most vulnerable citizens and ensure equal justice under the law.
“Equal justice under law is not merely a caption on the facade of the Supreme Court building; it is perhaps the most inspiring ideal of our society. It is one of the ends for which our entire legal system exists. … It is fundamental that justice should be the same, in substance and availability without regard to economic status.”
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell, Jr.
