It critiques the reliance on English in legal proceedings and judgments, which often alienates non-English-speaking citizens, thereby questioning the accessibility and inclusivity of the justice system.

  The essence of ethics lies in guiding individuals and organizations to make moral choices and conduct themselves in an ethical manner. Ethics encompasses principles, values, and standards that govern behavior and promote actions that are considered right, just, and morally acceptable.

Social Responsibility: Ethics extends beyond individu...
