Justice Essay

What is Justice?

Craft a research paper of 7-10 pages that provides your personal answer to the question “What is justice?” You may base your answer on your personal reading, as well as events in the news and in your own life. Feel free to scavenge from previous essays (remember, however, that this is a research paper. This paper needs to demonstrate the ability to conduct original, college level research). Classroom texts don’t count as research.

You may consider other questions, such as who deserves justice? Who abdicates their right to justice? Who decides who deserves justice?

This paper requires parenthetical citations and a Works Cited page in MLA format.
