Summary
Lawyers, like the general public, tend to be both fascinated and perplexed by questions about justice. Philosophical introspection about Aristotelian notions of what is right and wrong may be rare outside universities, but debates about how legal systems should enforce rules, remedy grievances and apportion blame in various situations involving agreements, disputes, damages, infractions or crimes have a long history in all of the world’s great legal traditions.
