Justice and the Law Unit 1

Justice? Most people equate justice with FAIRNESS and EQUALITY. However treating everyone EQUAL DOES NOT always mean justice. Sometimes it is UNJUST!! HOW?

Equal ≠ Just MORE DETAILS The DETAILS: Winter-time, while snowmobile riding Severe snow storm, freezing temperatures, wet Snowmobile broke down Seeking safe, warm place Took nothing! Charged with break and enter!?!?? The DETAILS: Broke into a cabin New Bay Lake area 2:00 a.m. Wednesday morning Charged with break and enter!?!??

How would it be more just? To be JUST, laws must take CIRCUMSTANCES into consideration.

TO BE JUST, LAWS SHOULD: Treat LIKE cases alike (RULE of PRECEDENT) and treat different cases different. UNJUST laws discriminate based on irrelevant factors. Race, religion, color, gender, age, disability Justice is IMPARTIAL. A person’s position or financial status is irrelevant. (see p. 16-MacIsaac) Just laws adhere to the values & beliefs of society.

Examples of unjust laws: Apartheid South Africa 3 Strikes law California* Japanese Internment Canada -during WWII Language Laws Quebec

Injustice occurs when… People are: Not treated equal and should be. Treated equal and shouldn’t be.
