As my grandfather used to say there is no justice there is just us. Justice would mean being innocent until proven guilty, a fair and impartial jury of ones peers, something in return for our tax dollars, honest polititions, yes there was wisdom in my grandfahters words, there is no justice

Doing what is morally and ethically right, based on the situation. God is the best example of justice. Once you learn the full situation, you will understand how just God has actually been.

there are many types.
retributive
egalitarian
democratic
utilitarian
meritocratic (just deserts)
the most important in this day and age is global social justice. i think it is based on a moral feeling of fairness rather than a political/conceptual idea.

It is punishment of the man who works ill against another, in the American sense of the word.
What is 'working ill'? Doing physical harm, taking what belongs to another, using threats or intimidation to coerce another's behavior.
