People care very deeply about justice.
Court processes must reflect established court purposes such as individual justice in individual cases, the appearance of individual justice in individual cases, provision of a forum against the arbitrary use of governmental power, and the making of a record of legal status. Regardless of economic status, there must be equal access. Everyone who comes to and before the court must be treated respectfully, fairly and equally. Case processing and the application of the law to the facts in individual cases must be consistent and predictable. Justice requires courts whose ordinary everyday administration reflects the legacy of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, America s compound republic, and the public s respect for and voluntary adherence to the law and decisions in individual cases.
