Law's Hall of Shame A formidable tool, the law has not always been used to advance justice or fairness. Many have used the law to their own ends, damn be justice!

These are lawyers, law students, law professors, justice politicians or the like, which society ought to hold out in shame for either heinous acts or lives. See, by contrast, the Law's Hall of Fame.
