   justice of the peace law, a judicial officer or
      subordinate magistrate appointed for the conservation of
      the peace in a specified district, with other incidental
      powers specified in his commission. in the united states a
      justice of the peace has jurisdiction to adjudicate
      certain minor cases, commit offenders, officiate at
      marriages, etc.; abbreviated jp.

   syn: equity; law; right; rectitude; honesty; integrity;
        uprightness; fairness; impartiality.

   usage: justice, equity, law. justice and equity are the
          same; but human laws, though designed to secure
          justice, are of necessity imperfect, and hence what is
          strictly legal is at times far from being equitable or
          just. here a court of equity comes in to redress the
          grievances. it does so, as distinguished from courts
          of law; and as the latter are often styled courts of
          justice, some have fancied that there is in this case
          a conflict between justice and equity. the real
          conflict is against the working of the law; this a
          court of equity brings into accordance with the claims
          of justice. it would be an unfortunate use of language
          which should lead any one to imagine he might have
          justice on his side while practicing iniquity
          inequity. justice, rectitude. rectitude, in its
          widest sense, is one of the most comprehensive words
          in our language, denoting absolute conformity to the
          rule of right in principle and practice. justice
          refers more especially to the carrying out of law, and
          has been considered by moralists as of three kinds:
          1 commutative justice, which gives every man his own
          property, including things pledged by promise. 2
          distributive justice, which gives every man his exact
          deserts. 3 general justice, which carries out all
          the ends of law, though not in every case through the
          precise channels of commutative or distributive
          justice; as we see often done by a parent or a ruler
          in his dealings with those who are subject to his
          control.

justice
   is rendering to every one that which is his due. it has been
   distinguished from equity in this respect, that while justice
   means merely the doing what positive law demands, equity means
   the doing of what is fair and right in every separate case.
   

[6] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)

justice. the constant and perpetual disposition to render every man his due. 
just. inst. b. 1, tit. 1. toullier defines it to be the conformity of our 
actions and our will to the law. dr. civ. fr. tit. prel. n. 5. in the most 
extensive sense of the word, it differs little from virtue, for it includes 
within itself the whole circle of virtues. yet the common distinction 
between them is that that which considered positively and in itself, is 
called virtue, when considered relatively and with respect to others, has 
the name of justice. but justice being in itself a part of virtue, is 
confined to things simply good or evil, and consists in a man's taking such 
a proportion of them as he ought. 
     2. justice is either distributive or commutative. distributive justice 
is that virtue whose object is to distribute rewards and punishments to each 
one according to his merits, observing a just proportion by comparing one 
person or fact with another, so that neither equal persons have unequal 
things, nor unequal persons things equal. tr. of eq. 3, and toullier's 
learned note, dr. civ. fr. tit. prel. n. 7, note. 
     3. commutative justice is that virtue whose object it is to render to 
every one what belongs to him, as nearly as may be, or that which governs 
contracts. to render commutative justice, the judge must make an equality 
between the parties, that no one may be a gainer by another's loss. tr. eq. 
3. 
     4. toullier exposes the want of utility and exactness in this division 
of distributive and commutative justice, adopted in the compendium or 
abridgments of the ancient doctors, and prefers the division of internal and 
external justice; the first being a conformity of our will, and the latter a 
conformity of our actions to the law: their union making perfect justice. 
exterior justice is the object of jurisprudence; interior justice is the 
object of morality. dr. civ. fr. tit. prel. n. 6 et 7. 
     5. according to the frederician code, part 1, book 1, tit. 2, s. 27, 
justice consists simply in letting every one enjoy the rights which he has 
acquired in virtue of the laws. and as this definition includes all the 
other rules of right, there is properly but one single general rule of 
right, namely, give every one his own. see, generally, puffend. law of 
nature and nations, b. 1, c. 7, s. 89; elementorum jurisprudentiae 
universalis, lib. 1, definito, 17, 3, 1; geo. lib. 2, c. 11, s. 3; ld. bac.

justice, n.  a commodity which is a more or less adulterated condition
the state sells to the citizen as a reward for his allegiance, taxes
and personal service.


                                  k



k is a consonant that we get from the greeks, but it can be traced
away back beyond them to the cerathians, a small commercial nation
inhabiting the peninsula of smero.  in their tongue it was called
_klatch_, which means "destroyed."  the form of the letter was
originally precisely that of our h, but the erudite dr. snedeker
explains that it was altered to its present shape to commemorate the
destruction of the great temple of jarute by an earthquake, _circa_
730 b.c.  this building was famous for the two lofty columns of its
portico, one of which was broken in half by the catastrophe, the other
remaining intact.  as the earlier form of the letter is supposed to
have been suggested by these pillars, so, it is thought by the great
antiquary, its later was adopted as a simple and natural -- not to say
touching -- means of keeping the calamity ever in the national memory. 
it is not known if the name of the letter was altered as an additional
mnemonic, or if the name was always _klatch_ and the destruction one
of nature's pums.  as each theory seems probable enough, i see no
objection to believing both -- and dr. snedeker arrayed himself on
that side of the question.
