“JUSTICE” becomes “JUST ICE”

Darren belonged to a lower middle class. He earned low income and owned an inheritance property of only half a ground land. He did not have enough cash to build a house in it. It was located in the center of town. He had simply put that for future purpose. Adjacent to that land was the house of a prominent figure with sound wealth and power. For some years, the land had been rolling his eyes. Suddenly a building arose on that land. Darren had a shock seeing a building as he had not come to see the land for many months. When approached the Sales Deeds department, it was said that the land had already been transferred in the name of the prominent person. Darren had lodged a complaint with the police. The complaint was not taken into consideration as the key figure was influential up to the top. He approached the court through a lawyer spending money. Plaintiff's attorney and counter-attorney sold justice to the influence and money of the key figure. The judge relied on that key figure for his promotion. So, Darren lost his land and money and fell victim to injustice.

Today, these events are becoming a daily routine in some Asian and African countries. Justice is not common to all but different to Poor or ordinary people and to the affluent or influential people. Many lawyers working in the judicial system today, with the exception of a few, have lost their consciences and hearts and are slaves to money.
Many of the judges bend justice for their promotions and for some or many privileges. Innocents, laymen, and humanitarians are the target of their “justice”.
 
Usually, some will do some favour to cool a man down to get something from him. In rhetoric, we used to jokingly call it "putting ice on his head". That is the position followed by some in the judiciary today. Yes, justice has narrowly become "finance". (JUSTICE becomes JUST ICE). Confidence in the judiciary is declining in many places today.  Some Law people are coming to their professions studying only loop holes in the laws.

“You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.”              (Leviticus 19:15)
“An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, but one whose way is straight is an abomination to the wicked. “ (Proverbs 29:27)
“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah   (Psalm 82:2)
“You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be a malicious witness. You shall not fall in with the many to do evil, nor shall you bear witness in a lawsuit, siding with the many, so as to pervert justice, nor shall you be partial to a poor man in his lawsuit.
 “You shall not pervert the justice due to your poor in his lawsuit.”      (Exodus 23: 1-6)
