Part of my daughters homework. Curious what you think. "Does the law provide Justice"?
Answers:
I agree with the person above me. Some wise man once said " you can please some people all the time, but you can't please everyone all the item. When the Goverment makes decisions regarding the law they look at the mandate of the population (but not everyone's wants). Some laws might be more fairer than others while some are just pointless or aren't providing justice. Don't know if that makes sense to you daughter, but hopefully you can "translate" it for her.
No, justice is subjective. Justice to me may not be justice to you and vice versa. The law provides guidelines for what society finds acceptable, and guidelines on how to punish and treat those who violate the law.
For a price . . . Justice is not for the poor.
The phrase most often cited is "equal justice under the law". Justice itself is subordinate to the law of the land. In America we try for"equal justice" and do not suceed all the time. The law is the codified series of guidelines that "justice" is administred from. The administration of justice depends on human beings, judges, juries, lawyers, and is almost by definition imperfect since we human beings are imperfect. The ideal is equal justice--the administration of justice under the law by human beings gives rise in some cases to justice that is unequal. No law provides justice, it is the administration of that law by human beings which may or may not provide justice.
