William Barclay calls our attention to I one of Montaigne's grim essays about a I Persian judge who centuries ago had I been bribed to render an unjust and I biased verdict on a certain case before him.
When Cambysses. the king, learned what had happened he ordered the judge executed. He decreed that the judge's body be skinned and tanned and used to cover the seat where the judges sat in judgement, a grim reminder to them that they should never allow prejudice to affect their verdicts.
We shudder at such a method but it does bring into clear focus the awesome responsibility some among us have as they strive to render justice to all.
