Abstract

The notion of justice remains at the centre of society and depicts justice as fair, equal, and protective of rights. It is in this respect that the concept of justice evolved from ancient philosophies to modern models, which is discussed in this report. While discussing the idea of distributive justice, procedural justice, retributive justice, and restorative justice, which are all relevant forms of justice that must be maintained within a society, many real-world case studies illustrate these diverse models of justice in practice through criminal law, social movements, and economic fairness. 


This report presents the history of the evolution of justice, different types of systems where justice can be found, cultural perspectives of justice, and the challenges modern legal systems face in practice. Through case studies and analysis, we will also observe current practice with regard to justice and look at its future.


The report also analyses the future of justice by exploring how globalisation, technology, and other related environmental factors are likely to inform it. Justice, just as societies and legal systems change, develops and needs to respond to new ethical issues that serve to preserve its potency in terms of fairness and equity. The analysis in the report underscores, therefore, an evolved justice system in response to emerging global concerns. This report will also discuss the modern justice system, notable case studies, and how justice will evolve moving forward.
