Bed of justice. See under Bed.
Chief justice. See in the Vocabulary.
Justice of the peace (Law), a judicial officer or
subordinate magistrate appointed for the conservation of
the peace in a specified district, with other incidental
powers specified in his commission. In the United States a
justice of the peace has jurisdiction to adjudicate
certain minor cases, commit offenders, officiate at
marriages, etc.; abbreviated JP.
Usage:
Syn: Equity; law; right; rectitude; honesty; integrity;
uprightness; fairness; impartiality. -- Justice,
Equity, Law. Justice and equity are the same; but
human laws, though designed to secure justice, are of
necessity imperfect, and hence what is strictly legal is
at times far from being equitable or just. Here a court
of equity comes in to redress the grievances. It does
so, as distinguished from courts of law; and as the
latter are often styled courts of justice, some have
fancied that there is in this case a conflict between
justice and equity. The real conflict is against the
working of the law; this a court of equity brings into
accordance with the claims of justice. It would be an
unfortunate use of language which should lead any one to
imagine he might have justice on his side while
practicing iniquity (inequity). Justice, Rectitude.
Rectitude, in its widest sense, is one of the most
comprehensive words in our language, denoting absolute
conformity to the rule of right in principle and
practice. Justice refers more especially to the carrying
out of law, and has been considered by moralists as of
three kinds: (1) Commutative justice, which gives every
man his own property, including things pledged by
promise. (2) Distributive justice, which gives every man
his exact deserts. (3) General justice, which carries
out all the ends of law, though not in every case
through the precise channels of commutative or
distributive justice; as we see often done by a parent
or a ruler in his dealings with those who are subject to
his control.
