No. It doesn't.

No. Law should attempt to provide justice, but that's not always possible. Law should give society the means to live and work in a civilized manner.

Of course not. And it's not expected to.
Here's an exchange between the great Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes and the young Learned Hand:
"I remember once I was with [Justice Holmes]; it was a Saturday when the Court was to confer. It was before we had a motor car, and we jogged along in an old coupé. When we got down to the Capitol, I wanted to provoke a response, so as he walked off, I said to him:
"'Well, sir, goodbye. Do justice!' He turned quite sharply and he said:
"'Come here. Come here.' I answered: 'Oh, I know, I know.' He replied:
"'That is not my job. My job is to play the game according to the
rules.'"

No. It often does not.
The law is a good idea, and most laws are written reasonably well. However, there are some bad laws on the books, and even the best laws are not always implemented fairly or effectively.

The law has nothing to do with justice it is based on perceived facts, which are not always the correct facts!
