Truth Seeking Over Privileged Communication

 

            "Justice itself is the great standing policy of civil society; and any eminent departure from it; under any circumstances, lies under the suspicion of being no policy at all."" And because I agree with this remark made by Edmund Burke I strongly affirm the resolution which states, "In the US Judicial system, truth seeking ought to take precedence over privileged communication."" My value premise will be justice, since the resolution is about the US Judicial System and truth seeking, and my value criterion will be Judicial Legitimacy, because a just judicial system would protect the innocent and prosecute the guilty. And with that I offer definitions of key words in the resolution from The American Heritage ® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. The first is judicial, which is defined as :Of, relating to, or proper to courts of law or to the administration of justice, the next is system, which is A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole. Next is Truth, which is defined as That which is considered to be the supreme reality and to have the ultimate meaning and value of existence. Then seeking which is the present tense of the word seek, which is to try to locate or discover. Ought, which is used to indicate obligation, duty, advisability, prudence, or desirability The next word is precedence which has been defined as Priority claimed or received because of superiority, and last, privileged communication, which is A confidential communication that one cannot be forced to divulge .
             Now I will show that the most supported value in today's resolution is Justice, because lack of justice is chaos and the only way that Justice can be obtained is with the affirmative, since truth is the basis of judicial legitimacy and truth seeking is the only way to the non witnessed truth.
