I heard John Reid say...

I heard John Reid speak about "moving away from the traditional view that justice has to involve going to court".

I heard him say that "The problem we face is what I call the justice shortfall. That is, the difference - sometimes big - between what you and I think is justice, and what a lawyer or legal academic might think it is. My kind of justice is swift, effective and matches the crime."
