“The horror… the horror.” These are the haunting words of Colonel Kurtz in the iconic movie “Apocalypse Now”. Just as Kurtz encountered the darkness and absurdity of war, so too have people throughout history faced the injustice of oppressive laws.
From the unjust laws in history that restricted the rights of certain groups to the exploitation of vulnerable individuals through occupational therapy independent contractor agreements, the annals of our legal system are rife with examples of inequality and discrimination.
