Judges and lawyers get a bad rap in today’s society. Just about everyone blames the court system for our problems. However, our court system provides a valuable service that is necessary for society to survive.
I know it is hard to believe but without the court system it would be difficult for us to remain civil to each other. Throughout history the strong took from the weak and violence was the only way to right wrongs. Our court system provides a place where people can settle disputes without violence.
This animation focuses on an event that everyone can relate to: what can we do if someone takes something from us against our will. Here we have Rancher stealing a cow from Farmer. You can substitute any wrong doing. For example, someone hitting your car and not paying for repairs.
Hopefully you will see the importance that courts play in our life. Next time you see a lawyer or a judge you should thank him or her for providing a valuable service. Because without them society wouldn’t be so civil.
