Law and Justice
The concept of justice, meaning the fair, correct outcome of a legal dispute, is at
the core of the longstanding and popular view of the essence of the law.
In many countries, the department of government that is in charge of the administration of
the court system is called Ministry of Justice.
«Law» and «Justice» may be regarded as close neighbours, justice means the proper and
fair administration of laws.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle distinguished justice between into two section: distributive and
corrective justice,
He says distribute the law equally amongst equals, everyone is equal before the law, or as
expressed by the well-known sentence: the eyes of justice are blind.
history is known with legal systems which were based on inequalities, particularly for women
and people of colour.
after centuries of conflict we have arrived at a point in modern legal systems where slavery is
prohibited and equality does, in principle at least, apply to women and to people of all colour
and ethnic origins.
