About On Law and Us
Born out of a hope that we can still have honest and informed discussions during highly polarized and fragmented times, "On Law and US" aims to identify and address some of the greatest societal challenges and legal issues we face today.
Informed by my own understanding as a legal scholar of the purpose and nature of law—and what I believe to be the essential normative bedrocks of constitutional democracies, the necessary safeguards of tolerance and inclusion, and sustainable and ethical frameworks for socio-economic ordering—I will attempt to bridge the many issues that cause divisiveness, hostility and hate among people, and ultimately argue that we must be either allies all or creators of the hate that we denounce in others.
While I do not profess to know the divine meaning of ordo amoris, let alone the full measure and scope of God's love and Her wisdom, I do firmly believe and hold in deep faith that it never allows for such a degree of separation that fully negates grace, compassion, and accountability for one another.
