"Hugo's critique of the injustice wrought by legal institutions has appealed with particular force to judges, lawyers, and members of the legal academy." Source

I encountered several iterations of this passage reading articles in law journals that mention lm and it's heartwarming to think that probably there were people who decided to study law because they read the brick. And idk why I should be surprised by that

#it just feel a bit weird in modern context bcs uh lawyers #stereotyped to oblivion #but should we learn the inside of smth before we make it better or topple it down?#i don't think so #but #this reminds me of the argument that to reject a theory fully we should understand it first #ah but that's ok if it's abt smth like the theory of evolution bcs not 'believing' doesn't hurt anyone #or is it #uhhhh #anyway i'm glad that the wilbour trans. is actually public domain #which was the thing i want to make sure of #the reason i've been on the trenches that arw law reviews #and now i'm gonna translate it witg the care and love it deserves #fuck visimedia #what a bunch of witless moneygrabbing fools #translation woes #z
