"At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst."-Aristotle. Justice and law are interconnected but they are not the same. Justice is a broad concept that is based on equality of rights, fairness and morality. Conversely, law is a body of regulations and standards set up by governments and international bodies and are based on the idea of justice. Laws are written norms that regulate the actions of the citizens and of the government itself in all aspects, whereas justice is a principle that may or may not be universally recognised. While the conception of individual justice is primarily directed at liberty of individuals, social justice implies some restraint on it. The latter is more concerned with the aspect of equality. Social justice is a political and philosophical theory which asserts that there are dimensions to the concept of justice beyond those embodied in the principles of civil or criminal law, economic supply and demand, or traditional moral frameworks.
