Justice and liberty are two concepts that are or should be sacrosanct in our society. There is always room for improvement in any system and because these systems touch the lives of nearly everyone in a highly diverse body they are valued and important.
There are a number of institutions that are foundational to democracy and the justice system is one (banking, education, etc. are others). These systems are responsible to wider societal stakeholders so it influences the health of the whole. Serious leaders and serious commitment to their health is necessary.
Where corruption is allowed, racial and religious bigotries persist, or political partisanship rampant then there is likely room for improvement. While most may function as intended there are a minority of people who will misuse these systems for improper gain and we should ensure proper checks, balances, and corrections are present to mitigate and remove the harmful impact of such individuals.
Thank you to the men and women who diligently work with integrity to keep these systems growing, adjusting, and functioning. Thank you to those who are finding ways to improve them in a reasonable and helpful way.
