Learning Objective
I can evaluate how courts contribute to or hinder the pursuit of justice.
- 1
Courts ideally provide a neutral forum for resolving disputes, ensuring fair application of laws and protecting individual rights.
- 2
Courts can hinder justice because access to legal representation is unequal, court procedures can be complex, and judges may have biases.
- 3
Courts are bound to apply existing laws, so the pursuit of justice may require changing unjust laws through legislative action or social movements.
