This is definitely *not* the case anywhere in the world (including the Western and First World). All one has to do is look at some of the news information out there and you can see that the Law is definitely not ensuring equality of opportunity.
Aye, there are bad lawyers, who write bad legislation. And, unfortunately, some of these bad lawyers also become bad judges, and create bad precedence. I still believe that the rule of law is a better course for equality, than the rule of force.
