Negative v. positive rights: political and civic rights, laws that limit us, charter is positive, non-political, socio-economic in nature. Difference between law and justice: justice = relative, discretionary, when written law is applied in full, it is just realists say that justice may not always be served. Don"t actively participate in the investigation instead they review the facts and make a decision.
