Is the justice system really just?
When a person commits a crime, people call for him to be “brought to justice”. But to many people, it means punishment.

Sometimes, the laws are just but are practiced unjustly. In order to keep society from becoming a system of power and dominance, the people must be able to complain about the arts of the system. “Determining whether a complaint states a plausible claim for relief requires the reviewing court to draw on its judicial experience and common sense.”(Justice system...
