justice {Gk. dikh [díkę]; Lat. iustitia}: Equitable distribution of goods and evils, including reward and punishment. After surveying alternative notions of the virtue of justice {Gk. dikaiwsunh [dikaiôsunę]}, Plato defined it as the harmonious function of diverse elements of society or of the distinct souls within an individual person. Most social philosophers of the Western tradition, however, have followed Aristotle's conceptions of retributive and distributive justice.
Contemporary discussions often focus on Rawls's notion of "justice as fairness."
-Dictionary of Philosophical Terms and Names
JUSTICE (Lat. justitia), a term used both in the abstract, for the quality of being or doing what is just, i.e. right in law and equity, and in the concrete for an officer deputed by the sovereign to administer justice, and do right by way of judgment. It has long been the official title of the judges of two of the English superior courts of common law, and it is now extended to all the judges in the supreme court of judicaturea judge in the High Court of Justice being styled Mr Justice, and in the court of appeal Lord Justice. The president of the kings bench division of the High Court is styled Lord Chief Justice (q.v.). The word is also applied, and perhaps more
usually, to certain subordinate magistrates who administer justice in minor matters, and who are usually called justices of the peace (q.v.).
