The Priest? In the Temple of Justice

The Priest? In the Temple of Justice. The man is the social animal. This line is taught to every budding lawyer. Why is it so important to know the nature of man, even before you learn any foundation of law? The best reason for this question according to my perspective is that before going into the details of rules which a budding lawyer is going to study, it is important to know the subject to which those rules are applied, rather to which animal the rules are to be applied. Yes, you read it right, I am talking about the most intelligent and civilised? animal on earth. In the context of the present scenario man is trying to erase his identity as a human being and is more inclined  towards animals. These are the dark times for people in the field of law and Justice. No, I am not here to preach some impractical and impossible moral science, but I am only trying to throw light on the so-called civilised society and the relationship between the society and administration of justice in the present scenario. Being a lawyer is taken very lightly these days mainly in developing countries like India. The profession of advocacy has a glorious history and we call it a noble profession, it requires lot of hard work and a great study of basic rules of interpretation. Now-a-days there is a general downfall of morality in the world and our profession is also worstly affected by it. Lawyers are the most important priests in the Temple of Justice. But in today's society the same priest has lost the sense of holy nature of this profession. The advocacy is simply a means to earn a living and not the Puja of Justice. Now many of my friends will say that lawyers also has a family to maintain. I agree with this particular sentence, but my friends' such thinking is leading to the degradation of our dignity as well as the nobility of profession. We should always try to strike balance between our needs and wants.  My friends I am not saying that we should practice law without any consideration but we should try to strike balance between our fees and the matters we handle, and see whether we are having a human heart while dealing with any matter or we are behaving like civilised animals? My Learned friends are prudent enough to know the implications of this particular sentence. We, being the advocates, have great responsibility of promoting and protecting the Civilization which is built by our forefathers by much hard work and efforts. Law is the foundation stone of any civilization and in my view the persons involved in the administration of law and justice should be scholars having practical attitude but most of all there should be 'Humanity at heart and Justice in mind' I know morality is a subject of debate and I am not the one who can comment on morality in Legal Profession. This is just my effort to persuade all my Learned friends to think about the nature of profession in the present scenario.
