- Title
JUSTICE IN FULL IS TIME WELL SPENT: WHY THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD BAN SUA SPONTE DISMISSALS.
- Authors
Donaldson, Michael J.
- Abstract
Sometimes I ask students to say whom they consider to he the most important person in a court room. Many pick the judge; others give a variety of answers. One even opted for the usher, without being able to explain why. My answer, given unhesitatingly, is that it is the litigant who is going to lose. Naturally he will usually not know this until the case is at an end. But when the end comes, will he go away feeling that he has had a fair run and a full hearing? . . . One of the important duties of the courts is to send away defeated litigants who feel no justifiable sense of injustice in the judicial process. . . . Justice in full takes time: but often it is time well spent.
