A quick definition of justice:

Justice means treating people fairly and equally under the law. It's important that laws protect people from harm and that when someone does something wrong, they receive a consequence that is fair and deserved. Justice is also a system that helps judges decide what is fair and right in different situations. Sometimes, judges who work in the highest courts are called "Justices."

A more thorough explanation:

Justice is a concept that has three meanings:

  1. Ethical and philosophical idea: Justice means treating people fairly, impartially, and reasonably by the law and those who enforce it. It also means that laws should prevent harm to others, and if harm is done, there should be a fair and appropriate consequence for both the accuser and the accused. This is known as due process.
  2. Legal structure or system: Justice is a system that determines who should receive benefits or burdens when the law is applied to a person's situation.
  3. Title: Justice is a title given to judges in the U.S. Supreme Court, federal courts of appeal, or state courts of appeal.

For example, if someone is accused of a crime, justice means that they have the right to a fair trial where evidence is presented and both sides have a chance to argue their case. If they are found guilty, justice means that they receive a punishment that fits the crime they committed. This ensures that everyone is treated fairly and that the law is applied equally to all.

In the legal system, justice means that the law is applied fairly and consistently to everyone, regardless of their race, gender, or social status. This ensures that everyone has an equal chance to receive justice and that the law is not biased towards certain groups.

Finally, the title of Justice is given to judges who are responsible for upholding the law and ensuring that justice is served in their courtrooms. They are responsible for making sure that the law is applied fairly and that everyone receives a fair trial.
