      5. A person duly commissioned to hold courts, or to try and
            decide controversies and administer justice.
  
      Note: This title is given to the judges of the common law
               courts in England and in the United States, and extends
               to judicial officers and magistrates of every grade.
  
      {Bed of justice}. See under {Bed}.
  
      {Chief justice}. See in the Vocabulary.
  
      {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, etc.
  
      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.
