A short history of justice

From customary rules and early written codes to constitutional government, modern law has developed around fairness, accountability, evidence, and peaceful resolution of disputes. Legal traditions differ by country, but most systems distinguish rights, duties, procedures, and remedies.

Today, statutes, regulations, court decisions, local rules, and administrative guidance may all matter. Check the date, jurisdiction, and official source before relying on a rule.
