The ideal of justice too often falls short of the daily practice of justice. This is inevitable in the human world. The justice system is composed of judges, court workers, lawyers, law enforcement, district attorneys, legislators and us. We’re all in it and affected by it. It’s a complex system, often pushed to the brink. Pushed into politics, the system unable to work for the people it serves.
Most who work in the system are dedicated and committed individuals. They believe in the ideal and are agents of the poor and disadvantaged, even with limited resources. Others are all about milking the system, defending the corporations and the wealthy and filling their own pockets with cash.
The justice system is built to serve the society in which it exists. When the society is poisoned by violence, lack of responsibility, excessive litigation, corruption and the lack of legislative will to address the problems, justice can be hard to find.
Justice should be there for all, but some have a lot more resources and power to buy it.
