Wisdom from Judge Learned Hand

A little inspirational quote from Judge Learned Hand, whose opinions we studied this semester in Contracts:

“Justice is the tolerable accommodation of the conflicting interests of society, and I don’t believe there is any royal road to attain such accommodation concretely.”
~Judge Learned Hand, in P. Hamburger, The Great Judge, 1946

Of course, then there’s Professor Contracts’ commentary: “I’m always amazed. A baby is born. What do you name him? Learned. Can you believe that?”
