Law and justice

Justice in law has been interpreted in various ways by prominent legal scholars who have argued within the framework of their respective schools of legal thought. Positivists either ignored the concept of justice in law altogether (Kelsen) or believed that it was inherent in law (Nersesyants). In either case, researchers have sought to define what could be considered justice. This search continues to this day, although it is important to recognize that justice is ultimately a conventional concept. The principle of the Council of Augsburg or the crusaders’ credo – whose power is also his faith – is unquestioned. Perhaps we should abandon this term and replace it with justice?
