Document Summary
Justice according to the law the law is not necessarily justice. Justice at personal/social level vs what the law considers justice. Some kind of equilibrium balance of exchange. Scales of justice imbalance, then justice system is challenged. Where is the justice working well, where is justice imbalanced. Procedures of law how justice is arrived at/determined. What may be justice/satisfying to some may not be for others. Rare where everyone is satisfied/happy with outcome/process. Substantive justice the correctness of the law and the accuracy of case outcomes. Procedural justice the fairness of the procedures used to arrive at a verdict in a case. The fairness of arrest and prosecution procedures. Not what behaviours are considered criminal/not criminal, not concerned with outcome of case whether rules and procedures of system followed correctly. When violated integrity of entire system falls apart. The adversarial system hope to win this case. Both parties (the police/prosecution on one side and the accused/defense on the other)
