the quality or principle of being just, impartial, or fair
the maintenance or administration of what is just
Though justice be thy plea, consider this – that in the course of justice, none of us should see salvation; we do pray for mercy — Shakespeare
the administration of law in accordance with established principles
Justice is the right result, a seemly or appropriate end, especially to litigation (for example, by conviction of the guilty or acquittal of the innocent). It is a compassionate decision – hence Portia's ‘mercy seasons justice’ speech in The Merchant of Venice – but always preceded by accurate determination of facts. Justice cannot be predetermined: in court, it is the result of a game, played fairly according to the rules of law — Geoffrey Robertson
