Following I cite a passage from A Course in Miracles which I feel captures, unlike anything I read the true meaning of justice.  Anything short of this isn't.  I hope you are impacted as much by the wisdom herein as I am.  We sure do need more justice, and until we truly know what it is, how can we accomplish it?

"Be certain any answer to a problem [Wisdom] solves will always be one in which no one loses.  And this must be true because [it] asks no sacrifice of anyone.  An answer which demands the slightest loss to anyone has not resolved the problem, but has added to it and made it greater, harder to resolve and more unfair.  It  is impossible [Wisdom] could see unfairness as a resolution.  To [it] what is unfair must be corrected because it is unfair.  And every error is a perception in which one, at least, is seen unfairly....When anyone is seen as losing, he has been condemned.  And punishment becomes his due instead of justice.


"The sight of innocence makes punishment impossible, and justice sure.  [Wisdom's] perception leaves no ground for an attack.  Only a loss could justify attack, and loss of any kind [it] cannot see.  The world solves problems in another way.  It sees a resolution as a state in which it is decided who shall win and who shall lose; how much the one shall take, and how much can the loser still defend.  Yet does the problem still remain unsolved, for only justice can set up a state in which there is no loser; no one left unfairly treated and deprived, and thus with grounds for vengeance.  Problem solving cannot be vengeance, which at best can bring another problem added to the first...

"[Wisdom's] problem solving is the way in which the problem ends.  It has been solved because it has been met with justice.  Until it has, it will recur, because it has not yet been solved.  The principle that justice means no one can lose is crucial....For [healing] depends on justice....

"No one deserves to lose....Healing must be for everyone, because [no one] merits an attack of any kind.  [Healing] IS justice.  It is not a special gift to someone, to be withheld from others as less worthy, more condemned, and thus apart from healing....Where is [healing's] justice if some errors are unforgivable, and warrant vengeance in place of healing and return of peace?....

"....And everyone is equally entitled to [the] gift of healing and deliverance and peace.  To give a problem to [Wisdom] to solve for you means that you want it solved.  To keep it for yourself to solve without [its] help is to decide it should remain unsettled, unresolved, and lasting in its power of injustice and attack.  No one can be unjust to you, unless you have decided first to be unjust.  And then must problems rise to block your way, and peace be scattered by the winds of hate.

"Unless you think that all...have equal rights to [healing] with you, you will not claim your right to [it] because you were unjust to one with equal rights.  Seek to deny and you will feel denied.  Seek to deprive and you have been deprived.  A [Healing] can never be received because another could receive it not.  Only forgiveness offers [healing].  And pardon must be just to everyone. 

"The little problems that you keep and hide become your secret[s]..., because you did not chose to let them be removed from you.  And so they gather dust and grow, until they cover everything that you perceive and leave you fair to no one.  Not one right do you believe you have.  And bitterness, with vengeance justified and mercy lost, condemns you as unworthy of forgiveness.  The unforgiven have no mercy to bestow upon another.  That is why your sole responsibility must be to take forgiveness for yourself.

"The [healing] that you receive you give.  Each one becomes an illustration of the law on which [healing] rests; that justice must be done to all, if anyone is to be healed.  No one can lose, and everyone must benefit.  Each [healing] is an example of what justice can accomplish when it is offered to everyone alike.  It is received and given equally.  It is awareness that giving and receiving are the same.  Because it does not make the same unlike, it sees no differences where none exist.  And thus it is the same for everyone, because it sees no differences in them.  Its offering is universal, and it teaches but one message:

What is...belongs to everyone and is his due.
