Some of us are called to become lawyers or judges when we suffer an experience of injustice as children. Bullying in the playground, the premature death of a loved one, warring or divorcing parents- the list goes on. As law students, the world of duality comes into sharper focus as we are trained to practice in traditional adversarial (oppositional) law systems. There are no shades of grey- just the judgmental lenses we are prescribed which promise to guide us in our careers to, ‘right the wrongs’ and ‘do justice’. In court we ‘win’ cases, or we ‘lose’ them. Yet in my 17 years’ litigation experience I understood that winning cases does not necessarily lead to justice.
