Law Day 2008 at Pima County Superior Court featured a look at The Rule of Law: Foundation for Communities of Opportunity and Equity from a couple of perspectives. First was the perspective of refugees who fled their native lands because the lack of rule of law meant their rights as citizens and members of society were not being respected. Second was from the perspective of members of the bench at superior court.
