The distinction between law and justice has been observed many times over the centuries. ("This is a court of law, young man, not a court of justice". ~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr)

If you've got a better way to consistently administer justice other than by creating a body of laws and following them, the world awaits your solution.
