Justice is one of the most important moral and political concepts with no agreed definition. Various philosophers interpret the meaning of justice differently. The concept of justice without law perhaps is not incoherent, but it is unavoidably vacuous. This paper analyses the concept of justice as defined by various philosophers and the difficulties in defining justice. The idea of justice depends upon the specific situation and the prevailing laws.
