Local understandings of justice: Justice is…
• … when there is a dispute that is resolved with both sides agreeing.
• … about being at peace with yourself.
• … when the WA resolves an issue.
• … about law and order.
• … when there is a fair hearing.
• … the absence of bribery.
• … when big cases are made small and small cases are made to disappear.
