Discrimination in legal justice system

defense lawyer, at first, argues properly that there is no proof against Jefferson. However, he changes his logic while he speaks for Jefferson. He gives the juries the reason why they do not need to kill Jefferson. Jefferson is innocent because he is as ignorant as a hog and not useful as much as a hog. Then, he asks for "mercy." The lawyer shows what "justice" actually means in a racist society. He asks, "What justice would there be to take this life? Justice, gentlemen? Why, I would just as soon put a hog in the electric chair as this" (8). Justice is not for a "hog" but only for the (white) men. At the end of the trial, the Judge reveals what the trial actually has been by saying that he "saw no reason that he [Jefferson] should not pay for the part he played in this horrible crime" (9). For him, there is no reason to let Jefferson live at all. The absurdity of legal justice is amplified when Grant, hearing about the decision of the execution day, cynically asks what justice is: "Twelve white men say a black man must die, and another white man sets the date and time without consulting one black person.

Cultural, legal and political environments can be as diverse as the country one is discussing. Many countries follow the European Civil Law system, whereas the United States follows the English Common Law system. American lawyers are as diverse from one state to another and usually do not practice across state lines, because laws vary.

In Ronald Dworkin’s Law’s Empire, the myth of the grand judge Hercules is ‘encapsulated by the metaphor of an ideal judge, Hercules is immensely wise and with full knowledge of legal sources. Acting on the premise that the law is a seamless web, Hercules is required to construct the theory that best fits and justifies the law as a whole in order to decide any particular case. Hercules, Dworkin argues, would always come to the one right answer.’(Dworkin) In contrary to the Greek demigod, the…
