In work men lose their dominion over the principalities and are in bondage to the principalities. Instead of men ruling the great institutions — corporations, unions, and so on — men are ruled by the great institutions. William Stringfellow

As a society, we adhere to the belief in a fair trial for a person accused of a serious crime, but some of us struggle when it comes to the business of providing a competent lawyer to guarantee said fair trial.
