'''Justice''' is the attribute of fairness, especially in a [[court]] of law. The concept of justice is often misunderstood, being easily confused with retribution or punishment. The phrase "bring him to justice" means arresting a suspect, trying him, and having him sentenced; but it has also been used to refer to [[lynching]].

Some people have slogan, "No justice, no peace" meaning that they will refuse to act peacefully until they receive justice. This, obviously, is the opposite of [[Gandhi]]'s philosophy of ''Satyagraha''. During the US [[Civil rights movement]], however, Martin Luther King implored his followers to follow Gandhi's idea of suffering injustice willingly as a means of eradicating evil.
