Legal and political theorists since the time of Plato have wrestled with the problem of whether justice is part of law or is simply a moral judgment about law. An example of the latter is when we speak of an "unjust law." Nearly every writer on the subject has either concluded that justice is only a judgment about law or has offered no reason to su...
It is natural to think, at first blush, that if our task is to look at the connection between law and justice, our best beginning would be to define law and justice. We might wish to have an exhaustive, definitive account of what "law" is, building on theorists from Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero down through the positivists Bentham, Austin, Kelsen, ...
I want to begin the task of refuting the claims made in the preceding section. The capstone of my argument will take the form of an extended hypothetical example (a traffic regulation), in [pg539] which I attempt to demonstrate that justice is an inextricable part of law.

My intention here is to use a single, extended hypothetical case to prove the proposition that...
If the preceding hypothetical case strikes you as a generic one-applicable, with modifications, to any real-life situation where a statute impacts human behavior—then I hope I have proved that it is legally impermissible to omit “justice” considerations from the interpretation and application of statutes. For the “justice” considerations are built ...

Jun 26, 2017 · The idea of justice occupies centre stage both in ethics, and in legal and political philosophy. We apply it to individual actions, to laws, and to public policies, and we think in each case that if they are unjust this is a strong, maybe even conclusive, reason to reject them.
