No.
"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.'"
Learned Hand, reciting a conversation he had with Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes.

There is no such thing as "real" justice...
only someone's opinion. it changes over time
and different cultures view it differently.
you should seek a career in justice and make a difference.
of course improvements can always be made.
there is no shortage of shortcomings in our "justice" system.
but it is made up of people and laws that people made.
