How can we have faith in courts’ judgement?

All around the world, institutions that once enjoyed respect, if not trust, struggle to sustain the support they once took for granted. 

Governments are distrusted in ways that lead to sweeping, regressive, change. The authority once enjoyed by the Catholic church is no more. Banks, once bastions of bourgeois respectability, are reviled.

Traditional media, where credibility is the essential currency, are derided as servants of dark forces. Social media is a free-for-all where fact and assertion occasionally collide. Our police, exposed by report after report, have lost credibility. The list of institutions undermined by action or inaction lengthens by the day.
