Is justice the constitution, or is it the case law?
I'm trying to pin down what justice is in a legal sense. Is it the text of the constitution? Or is it the accumulated body of case records and precedents?

It's neither—and both. Justice is the principle. The constitution is the framework that enshrines it. Case records are the application of it to real human conflicts. Justice isn't contained in any single document; it's the equitable outcome that emerges when you interpret and apply legal principles to specific facts. It's not a compendium or an abstract. It's the act of fair judgment itself.
