It means that the law must be well established and strong, yet it must be flexible and able to change and adapt to changing times and beliefs.

It is best explaining the concept of Continuous improvement.
LAW must be stable means that it should be well in forced but Channels for its improvement must be available for its better execution.
Stagnant things laws or rest becomes stinky.

It means the law must be respected as the single authoritative way that we function as a society, but it must also be responsive and adaptable to the needs of the society.
Imaka already said it extremely well.

It means in my view that law must be consistent at all times, yet not stay the same. Be willing to change and not compromise its values. As our culture changes ours laws must adapt, but they must still have the same moral background as what we started with.

100 years ago there were no laws regulating the Internet, automobiles, and asbestos. The law was stable back then but it had to keep up with the latest of everything.

in my opinion it means, the law has to have some kind of structure like a fence, yet there is always a way that people bypass it; there are always loopholes in the fence. Therefore it's important that the law is firm at the right times. i hope that helps! = ]

Justice must be constant and consistent- but always be moving forward in pursuit of truth and justice. These other quotes reaffirm the concept;
“The duty of a judge is to administer justice, but his practice is to delay it” ~ Jean de la Bruyere
“Judges are the weakest link in our system of justice, and they are also the most protected.” ~ Alan M. Dershowitz

O O pick me...No, wait, I don't want you to pick me, I was trying to say that "O O pick me" (the second answerer) is right. I envy her/him for being faster than me.
