  The perspectives of the past as copiously written should awaken all those lawyers with the notion that the legal profession bestows on them any distinct rights of freedom of thought and speech which is denied the other members of the society. Court appearance and representation on behalf of their clients, yes.

  Some lawyers are pompous oh! Effah Dartey should have had enough sense and decorum not to try and disparage the knowledge of an experienced campaigner like Mr Cameron Duodu.The man saved your skin once and you describe him as "not being a lawyer" in order to create prejudice against his analysis of the issue? Shame. When he faced the Special Branch on your behalf, did he go with a lawyer? And you don't think he can write on a legal issue? Couldn't the Special Bran ch have locked him up if he had not been able to demonstrate to them that he knew the law?
  
  Effah Dartey is too publicity-conscious. He should not have tangled with Mr Duodu at all. You don't know the difference between prosecution and investigation and you open your loud mouth. Lawyer my foot.

  One does not have to be a lawyer to write enlightened articles dealing with matters that touch on the law. I'm glad Linda reminded this lawyer about the experience of Cameron as well as his past acts of bravery in defense of others, particularly this Effah-Dartey.
