My impressions from this morning’s court hearing? I am talking about justice, but everyone else in the courtroom is talking about law. What connects the twain? I have no idea whatsoever. After a mind-blowing court hearing like this one, the impression that there is no connection between justice and law is especially strong. It would take an accomplished theorist of jurisprudence to come up with the missing link.

Addendum (September 29, 2015)

Having stumbled upon this piece in one of my meanderings through my writings, I am quite pleased with it. Minus the last sentence, I hasten to add. I am quite convinced that the link between justice and law is missing in perpetuity from Croatian courts. No theorist of jurisprudence, no matter how accomplished, could ever come up with the requisite connection between the two. Justice is justice, and law is law. Period. If you want justice, forget about Croatian courts. Which is why I ended up taking Croatia and its crooked courts to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. Returning to the flaunted theorist of jurisprudence, I hope that he or she could come up with the missing link in that international court without much ado. Even more, I sincerely hope that this is where justice and law are so intimately intertwined that they are actually indistinguishable from each other. Justice is law, and law is justice. Alleluia!
