Justice is the execution of consequences when the rules of a governing authority are transgressed. The evidence upon which a judgement is made as to whether rules have been transgressed must be high probability facts with certificates of credibility which have been rigorously and sceptically questioned. Justice is not fairness, although they are frequently equated and most groups and individuals seeking redress complain if justice is not heavily biased in their direction.

Justice can only be equitable or fair if the rules of the governing authority and its consequent exercise of power recognize and accept that fonts of creativity be allowed their cycle of opportunity, that the destructive aspirations of greed be curtailed and contained by an aggressive altruism, and that religious and cultural delusions be conferred no special considerations. A justice which is inequitable in effect promotes and espouses the propagation of cultural pathogens and the inevitable consequence of social malfunction. It is certainly in the interests of social stability that justice be seen to be fair even though there is no precedent in nature for such a contrived concept.

The socially equitable administration of justice by an individual or a biased group is essentially unattainable. Every particular individual is biased by their nurture and the limit of their interests. Any group, be it military, legal, religious or economic, espouses a perspective which appears balanced only to themselves.

When a social group manages to hijack the administration of justice, and the members obtain economic rewards by participating, unfairness is virtually certain. Prosecution representatives strive for convictions rather than trying to determine the actual train of events. Defense councils strive for acquittals rather than ascertaining the guilt or not of their clients. Evidence that is inconvenient is suppressed. If there is a jury, it can be swayed by emotional appeals and selected information. The justice system becomes manipulated to serve the ends of the group conducting the administration.

Existence is vastly more complex and chaotic than any set of regulatory rules can possibly account for. Any system of authority needs to be administered by individuals who can make provision for creativity and accept, perhaps ruefully, that nature is not fair and never has been. It is a distorted aberration of social equity for one group to dominate the delivery of justice, especially if that group specializes in the details of the rules and their consequences. A society can only aspire to treat its citizens even-handedly if the judgments as to guilt or otherwise are made by a broad spectrum representation of its members. Judgements should be made by a panel representing a diverse community interest, which has a consensus confidence of the members. Justice should be administered in effect by a professional jury appointed by a procedure which promotes those individuals who have the confidence of the culture within which they live.
