I would say, the Courts are not citadel of justice, they just administer their kind of justice, that too inconsistently due to unavoidable influence of the corrupt body politic and weaknesses of the human beings involved.
For a believer, God is the citadel of justice that has inconsistent time lags but consistent results.
For a non-believer, the citadel of justice is cause and effect principle of the nature which is consistent physically, but ineffective in matters of emotions, human relationships, (social or business) etc.

There is absolutely no reason to believe that a "citadel of justice" cannot also be corrupt at the same time as the "body politic" - even assuming that this "citadel" is not part of the "body politic" in the first place.
The components of both organizations are human beings.

Then it's time for the citadel to open up a can of Grade A Whoop-***.
P.S. When is the body politics ever NOT corrupt?

Sadly I believe most bodies politic are corrupt to some degree. The corrupt are most agile at getting the organisational and financial support they need to get into power. Power corrupts further, through opportunity, and through the will to keep it. Thus, any body politic with the power to do so will corrupt the courts by appointment to further their ideaology, and cement their power. The next barrier is the body of the law (lawyers); and the next the press. Both, being human and now increasingly driven for personal profit, can choose to avoid the personal peril of confronting totalitarian (or ideaological) government and corrupted courts. Then only the ultimate "body politic", the people,can save the day, and have done so even under totalitarian regimes, at great cost. We may not get the government, nor the justice we deserve - but in any society we get what we will tolerate and suffer. Fortunately there are always, eventually, brave heretics to unmask our eyes, spur us to action, and often die doing it.

Depends on the access of the citadel. In our system, a whole lot of law suites

If the judiciary is independent from the political process - then nothing.
