A legal quotation may be the core of the decision or a seed sown for future development of law. These quotations relate to many aspects of law and life. Some speak of the role of the State and the Judiciary, some comment on individual rights and freedoms, others remark on nation building - Some are idealist, some downright practical. Quotations from judgments of newly appointed judges to the Supreme Court have also been incorporated and the Judge Index updated, by which readers can refer to the quotes of their idol judges.
