Justice delayed is justice

The new American film "Sex First" tells the story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a female Supreme Court justice in her "career fighting for equality".

A while ago in the circle of friends, I also saw the text about her, which left a deep impact on me.

After watching the movie, I realized that there is not only racial discrimination in the United States, but also serious sexism. The concept of "Men are outside, women are inside" has been enshrined in as many as 20,000 pages of laws in the United States. Even if it is out of date, it is still deeply rooted and has not been amended by law.

The first of the cases that prompted the court to make a new case to correct gender discrimination was Mrs. Ginsburg's first appearance as a lawyer. She had no previous court experience, so it can be said that she won the case without skills and experience. What does she rely on? Perhaps it is the proverb written in the court: Reason is the soul of law. It may be more appropriate to answer with "fairness in the heart".

The most shrewd lawyer may seek justice from the court for the client, and then promote social progress!
