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.
Syn: Equity; law; right; rectitude; honesty; integrity;
uprightness; fairness; impartiality.
Usage: 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.

JUSTICE
(bouvier) | JUSTICE. The constant and perpetual disposition to render every man his due.
Just. Inst. B. 1, tit. 1. Toullier defines it to be the conformity of our
actions and our will to the law. Dr. Civ. Fr. tit. prel. n. 5. In the most
extensive sense of the word, it differs little from virtue, for it includes
within itself the whole circle of virtues. Yet the common distinction
between them is that that which considered positively and in itself, is
called virtue, when considered relatively and with respect to others, has
the name of justice. But justice being in itself a part of virtue, is
confined to things simply good or evil, and consists in a man's taking such
a proportion of them as he ought.
2. Justice is either distributive or commutative. Distributive justice
is that virtue whose object is to distribute rewards and punishments to each
one according to his merits, observing a just proportion by comparing one
person or fact with another, so that neither equal persons have unequal
things, nor unequal persons things equal. Tr. of Eq. 3, and Toullier's
learned note, Dr. Civ. Fr. tit. prel. n. 7, note.
3. Commutative justice is that virtue whose object it is to render to
every one what belongs to him, as nearly as may be, or that which governs
contracts. To render commutative justice, the judge must make an equality
between the parties, that no one may be a gainer by another's loss. Tr. Eq.
3.
4. Toullier exposes the want of utility and exactness in this division
of distributive and commutative justice, adopted in the compendium or
abridgments of the ancient doctors, and prefers the division of internal and
external justice; the first being a conformity of our will, and the latter a
conformity of our actions to the law: their union making perfect justice.
Exterior justice is the object of jurisprudence; interior justice is the
object of morality. Dr. Civ. Fr. tit. prel. n. 6 et 7.
5. According to the Frederician code, part 1, book 1, tit. 2, s. 27,
justice consists simply in letting every one enjoy the rights which he has
acquired in virtue of the laws. And as this definition includes all the
other rules of right, there is properly but one single general rule of
right, namely, Give every one his own. See, generally, Puffend. Law of
Nature and Nations, B. 1, c. 7, s. 89; Elementorum Jurisprudentiae
Universalis, lib. 1, definito, 17, 3, 1; Geo. Lib. 2, c. 11, s. 3; Ld. Bac.
Read. Stat. Uses, 306; Treatise of Equity, B. 1, c. 1, s. 1.
