The courts, with neither the purse nor the sword to enforce their rulings, are especially dependent on the confidence and good-will of the people.

Because the courts are at once both so important and so fragile, they must be upheld and maintained by the best efforts of all Americans, whether judges, lawyers, jurors, court personnel or citizens.

As Chief Justice Harlan Fiske Stone once opined: "The law [referring to the Legal System created by the Law] itself is on trial in every case." But the rule of law is also on trial when our Court promulgates rules of evidence or procedure. [referring to the "Practice" of Law] Across the world, citizens of emerging countries recognize that the rule of law is essential to self-government, and that the surest guarantors of the rule of law are respected, independent courts. But these new nations, like ours, have found that maintaining allegiance to the rule of law is no easy thing.
