Justice is generally understood to mean what is right, fair, appropriate, deserved. Justice is achieved when an unjust act is redressed and the victim feels whole again. Justice also means the offender is held accountable for his behavior. We make justice possible when we provide opportunities for women to safely tell the truth about their experiences of violence and abuse and when we hear and acknowledge that truth. When we stand with her, require the system to respond to her needs, and seek the restitution to which she is entitled, we are working toward justice.

After long experience of the legal industry I can assure you that, in common usage, justice is the result that a particular individual wants from a particular piece of litigation.
People who lose claim that they have not had justice. People who win believe that justice has been done.
