Group Discussion 1: Legal System and Social

Justice Enhancement

In an independent state with democracy, the law is considered
as one of the important tools for bridging the inequality gap and
nurturing quality of democracy. Fair laws and fair enforcement will create
justice in society; on the other hand, unfair laws and poor law
enforcement may contribute to increasing inequality in society, such as the
provision to preserve the forests regardless of the people living in the area,
or legislation to serve some certain groups of people. Unfair law enforcement
gives priority to some groups of people while obstructing other groups of
people from accessing the justice system, creating inequality under the same law.

Therefore, a good legal system must allow people to participate in
development of legislation, so the process of drafting laws should include soliciting
public opinions to truly reflect the voice of the public. Enforcement of good laws
must ensure that the rights of all people are protected equally. A justice system must
allow all people access. The most important expectation is to bridge the inequality
gap of people in society and enhance social justice.
