“…A criminal lawyer must be different from a labor lawyer. At least once, how could someone who has never personally experienced the roots of a murder understand how to defend a killer? How could they defend someone without exploring the very fabric of social order in their mind? A judge, just like an artist from the early empire, must understand the man’s step, the woman’s demeanor, and the posture of an eleven-coin piece. If lawyer Fulvius hadn’t jumped from the walls of Capua one evening to join the slave rebellion, could he have defended Spartacus? If Judge Porphyrius hadn’t dreamed of committing a beautiful murder himself, could he have revealed that Raskolnikov was guilty?”

Av. Jacques Vergès / from “Defense Attacks

“…Criminal law is strange. You should not judge, you should not get angry, you should not cry. Isn’t that possible? It is. But it must always be inside you. Your gaze should not show any sign of escape. Look into the eyes of the criminal across from you, friendly. There you will see the ‘human’ who wants to confess their troubles. From that point on, it gets easier. ‘Man takes away another’s poison,’ they say in the vernacular. Half of criminal law is this.”

Prof. Dr. Av. Faruk Erem / From “Memoirs of a Criminal Lawyer
