The World and All
SPEAKING OF JUSTICE
By Charles p. Driscoll

There has been a good deal Of talk, in print and out
of print, about the failure of justice to make itself
manifest in American courts Of late. ! have heard this
conversation as long as | can remember, revived every
time there is a noteworthy miscarriage of justice in
our courts. or course. when there j. a series Of note
worthy miscarriages Of justice, the tlak becomes more
general and more loud.
There are bold statements that the jury system has
broken down, that il is impossible 70 send a rica man
to prison, that We are on the slide for the bow-wovs,
and won't come back.
Those who have been reading my remarks in this
space from day to day will realize that what | say
about this situation Is altogether consonant with what
I have said repeatedly in this space about human
justice.
Tit trouble is that the critical public expects too
much Of our system of jurisprudence. The critics are
shocked when there is a notable instance Of injustice
in our courts. But they are not overjoyed and ex-
hilirated when there is n notable case in which strict
justice is meted out.
The critics fail to recognize the fact that human
justice is Enthusiastically weak. A sense Of justice.
being a very complicated sense, j. possessed BY highly
civilized humans only. And none Of Us Is 50 highly
civilized as yet that we know very much about pure
justice. We are doing our best, and 1T is really sur
prising how well our courts and iuries do, on the az
erage. But of course injustice is frequently done.
Our Judges and juries are seldom corrupt. But they
are always human.
