The question that has haunted legal philosophy since antiquity. Accountability in the judiciary requires structures that most systems are reluctant to build.

Is justice blind?

The blindfold is aspirational, not descriptive. Every study of judicial outcomes reveals patterns that the ideal of impartiality cannot fully explain.

What makes a law just?

Legal positivists and natural law theorists have debated this for centuries. The answer may depend less on the law itself than on who it serves.
