Do not be Afraid of the Court of Chancery

By Nicholas Estrada


          There are very good people in the Court of Chancery. However, we all know there is a stigma about the Court, because some cases are never solved, or they are solved without justice being sought. This is clearly a misunderstanding of how the Court of Chancery operates. The fact is that there are people involved with the court that understand that there are some injustices that are done. The people that remain in the court make it so that people are put in prison when they deserve it and also get their judgments. When there is no one who is able to render judgment, remember the Court of Chancery is always there. There is also a lot of discussion about how this current Jaundyce vs. Jaundyce case will play out. The Court of Chancery assures you that there are people that are people who are grinding themselves to the stone to see that everything is done. The public shouldn't fear the court, they should welcome it with open arms and not be afraid to come into the court. Take it from a great aid to the court, Sydney Smith, who stated, “That there never was a great abuse brought to light in England, but there certainly arose some men prepared to contend not only that it was no abuse at all, but that it was something to be admired, and glorified, and boasted about. Such folks are tender, we presume, even of the Court of Chancery.”
