In Biblical Times, it was the law that called for the killing of all male babies born of Israelite women in Egypt. In our recent past, it was the apartheid law that was used to displace masses of black South Africans into pockets of homelands under the pretense of self-governance and determination. In the same period, it was the law that permitted corporate punishment for those convicted of serious crimes, including those fighting against the same laws of the era. It is a contradiction of note that the object behind law is maintenance of order, but the same law can be used to oppress, kill, and dehumanise. This is where it gets interesting.

King Solomon could have used the law to cut the disputed baby in half and close the case, but he was wise enough to realize that law is not always just. This is the inspiration behind our firm – we recognize that law is important, but it needs to be wisely applied to attain justice. We are steadfast in our believe that real legal practitioners have a duty not only to study the law but to apply it wisely and with an object of attaining justice.

We are driven by passion to apply the law to seek justice. This we will do even when it appears to us that we shall pay a heavy price, but our oath of office does not give us any other option, we have signed up for this with a sober mind and this we shall do.
