There is little justice-particularly for people who lack money. "Justice" is merely a notion unless made real by those empowered to do so. It is true that our justice system is the best in the world, yet it remains an imperfect system and, like each of us, must be a constant work in progress. All of us must continue to work on it - lest the vision of our founding fathers shall become a mere chimeric notion. We must also remember that everything that we do requires "sweat" and "mentorship!"

Oklahoma House Bill 1026 - Family Law

The Daily Oklahoman published my article on March 22, 2008 regarding Oklahoma House Bill 1026. There is an electronic link on the left side of this page so that you can view the article (on the left side of this page under "The Oklahoman" heading, it is the article on "Statutory Divorce Grounds"). Please feel free to leave your comments with The Oklahoman. The HB, as proposed, could impact a significant number of Oklahomans. If you feel strongly enough about the issues raised, you should contact your Oklahoma Representative or Oklahoma Senator.
