   Don’t conflate law and justice. One does not imply the other and we usually have too much of the former and very little of the latter.

     In the strong (thick) norm of the Rule of Law, law & justice are intimately connected, but at the other end of the normative continuum the thin norm of the Rule of Law evacuates justice to focus merely in the letter of the law - I used to think the thicker perception had been historically on the rise, but I now think actually it had a high water mark and is in retreat.... my book is a historical snapshot, not the celebration of a celebrated norm (as I had thought a decade ago).
