should you ask a lawyer what justice is he will pause for some time and return to you with a controlled and unassertive reply:
justice differs according to various cases.
this callous and indifferent reply is probably the most likely answer you can expect from persons trained in the art of justice.
the modern approach to jurisprudence commands great efforts to compartmentalize different aspects of what seems to be a singular problem. we are trained in methods to differentiate legal issues from a stream of relevant facts. we are also trained to confine our emotions and expunge it from our decision making process.
despite what the general idea of justice may be and whatever passions the idea may incur, lawyers are bound by reason when studying the concept of justice. a national system of laws is not merely a loose guideline for passing judgment, but a set of binding directives that dictates the methods professional legal counsels perceive specific aspects of reality, i.e., cases that are handed to them.
because human rationale is imperfect, the interpretations offered by lawyers can be intuitively disturbing. we are aware of this. but justice as an ideal differs from justice that can be realized, much owing to our very own inherent imperfections as flawed beings.
