A quick definition of justification:

Term: Justification

Definition: Justification is a type of defense used in court that excuses a defendant from being held responsible for their actions because they had a good reason for doing what they did. This means that the defendant will not be punished for their actions because the court believes that they could not have acted differently in that situation. It is different from an excuse, which is used when the defendant admits to their actions but argues that they should not be held responsible because of certain circumstances.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Justification is a type of defense that excuses a defendant from liability because their actions were justified. This means that the defendant will not be punished for their actions because they could not have acted differently in that situation.

One example of justification is self-defense. If someone is being attacked and they use force to defend themselves, they may be justified in their actions and not be held liable for any harm caused to the attacker.

Another example is a police officer using force to apprehend a suspect who is resisting arrest. If the officer uses reasonable force and it is necessary to apprehend the suspect, they may be justified in their actions and not be held liable for any harm caused to the suspect.

These examples illustrate how justification can be used as a defense in certain situations where the defendant's actions were necessary and reasonable given the circumstances. It is important to note that justification is not an excuse for illegal or immoral behavior, but rather a defense for actions that were necessary and reasonable in the given situation.
