Is justice just or is it corrupt?

This is a really tough question. To answer it, it may be helpful to understand the express differences between the legal system and lawyers.\n\nThe legal system is well thought-out, well-designed, time-tested, and does its best to protect the innocent.\n\nLawyers, however, are posed with a very difficult question when they are in law school: Should a lawyer's ultimate loyalty be to justice or to the client?\n\nMost people would like to say the answer is "justice" but, technically, that is incorrect. Law students are instructed to serve justice, but are also instructed that their primary concern is the client. Their loyalty, even over justice, is to the client. This makes more sense that one would think: Clients couldn't expect to get competent service from a lawyer if the lawyer's ultimate loyalty was to justice and not the client. If the client was guilty, the lawyer would end up serving justice and not the client, and the client would lose their case no matter what. However, everyone is entitled to a fair trial and competent counsel under the Constitution. The only way for this to happen is if the lawyer's loyalty goes to the client no matter what, guilty or innocent.\n\nTo keep lawyers from going too far, though, all law students must take 2 courses and an exam (separate from the bar exam) on Professional Responsibility. In the course they are subject to learning a 2-inch-thick book of ABA Approved Professional Rules of Conduct to keep lawyers from manipulating the law in an unjust and dishonest way, while still maintaining ultimate loyalty to their client.

Who told you that life was fair. Its not. Thats the way it is. Never has been, never will be. Best to not waste time trying to get justice, best to spend that time getting money.

Court Justice is more consistent.  Bad people excape street justice often.

Our legal system is flawed from square one. An oath is given to uphold THE LAW. \n\nTRUTH and JUSTICE DON'T MATTER - ONLY GAMESMANSHIP, PROCEDURES and THE LAW.\n\nIs it any wonder that our system SUCKS so badly?

I define justice as when someone is caught and convicted of the crimes in which they commited to society.

Justice is justice, the timing is not the issue.

It's definitely a shame when authority figures abuse their power, and it's often difficult to bring justice since they are in certain ways "above the law" though they shouldn't be.\n\nHowever, I'm not quite sure what the question here is. I'm sorry, but it's very hard to follow.

Lots of money and a crooked lawyer usually settles such a situation.\n\nIn the event that you feel it was a miscarriage of justice you can always get a lawyer and have it reviewed by a higher court. Just because someone is a judge don't think for a minute that they are fair, it has been my experience that it is all about political motivation or the almighty $$$$$ DOLLAR $$$$$. Best of luck.

Not all laws are Godly laws, and there are corrupt people in all professions. I would say sometimes the people in law enforcement over step their bounds and even to the point of killing someone, but this doesn't mean all people in law enforcement are acting ungodly.

If a society is stupid enough to allow the judicial branch of the systems to be corrupt and make up laws as they go, and not check them, then the people get what they deserve for never asking or confronting. Liars defend corruption because they are most likely monetarily gaining/in bed with the same ilk. Lawyers (not all) are bought off and do not necessarily need to be on any side of truth to make big money. Often it is the truthful lawyers not doing so well. When lies are worth more than truth, then said given society has serious problems. End of story.\n\nGovernments (Fed) biggest purpose these days is to create wars & take from the productive to give to the sandbaggers. Not the truly needy, mind you but, the lazy asses. It is how socialism works and grows into communism- by offering more and more handouts in return, and for your vote. \n\nLaughable, but, by all means disprove it :o)

In a perfect world where justice was perfectly administered every single time, the death penalty might be the appropriate punishment for the most heinous crimes. However, this isn't a perfect world. And, justice is rarely administered appropriately or fairly.  Race and class impact the judicial system. Those who are minorities and/or poor rarely receive the level of legal representation that the dominant race and/or the wealthy receive. Nor are they like to receive the same caliber of due process. Statistically, law enforcement treats minority and/or poor suspects quite differently than the wealthy. \n\nSo, at every step of the legal process from arrest to trial to judgement and finally, to the imposition of that judgement, the race and class of the person impacts the outcome. Because this is so endemic to the judicial system at both the federal and a state level, the death penalty  as the ultimate penalty should no longer be imposed at least not until the issues of class and race have been better resolved in the US than they are at present.

Good is a relative term. Fair and just, yes, I think it was fair and just. Politicians should uphold the laws, not get involved in illegal activity.

Yes.  It is corruption, if it is really happening.  You could report it to your assistant district attorney.  I say assistantt, d.a. because he or she no doubt has aspirations to becoming the big dog.  If anyone wants to make a name for themselves by taking down corrupt civil servants it would be an assistan district attorney.   Report it to them, or a local t.v. reporter.  The local news station no doubt has someone who specializes in ruining lives and reputations.  Have fun.
