He should remember that an injunction is a limitation upon the freedom of action of defendants and should not be granted lightly or inadvisedly.
Page 329 - The future of the republic, to a great extent, depends upon our maintenance of justice pure and unsullied. It cannot be so maintained unless the conduct and the motives of the members of our profession are such as to merit the approval of all just men.
Page 332 - His decision should be accepted unless the nature of the difference makes it impracticable for the lawyer whose judgment has been overruled to co-operate effectively.
