Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, p. 864:

Justice, n.  Title given to judges, particularly judges of U.S. and state supreme courts, and as well to judges of appellate courts.  The U.S. Supreme Court, and most state supreme courts are composed of a chief justice and several associate justices.

Proper administration of laws.  In jurisprudence, the constant and perpetual disposition of legal matters or disputes to render every man his due.

Commutative justice concerns obligations as between persons (e.g., in exchange of goods) and requires proportionate equality in dealings of person to person; Distributive justice concerns obligations of the community to the individual, and requires fair disbursement of common advantages and sharing of common burdens; Social justice concerns obligations of individual to community and its end is the common good.

In Feudal law, jurisdiction; judicial cognizance of causes or offenses.  High justice was the jurisdiction or right of trying crimes of every kind, even the highest.  This was a privilege claimed and exercised by the great lords or barons of the middle ages.  Law justice was jurisdiction of petty offenses. 

See also Miscarriage of justice; Obstructing justice.

Easton's Bible Dictionary, 1996

Justice — is rendering to every one [equally, whether citizen or alien] that which is his due. It has been distinguished from equity in this respect, that while justice means merely the doing [of] what positive law demands, equity means the doing of what is fair and right in every separate case. ^[1]
