“Justice, which is the end of law, is the ideal compromise between the activities of each and of the activities of all in a crowded world. The law seeks to harmonize these activities and to adjust the relations of every man with his fellows so as to accord with the moral sense of community. When the community is at one of its ideas of justice, this is possible. When the community is divided and diversified, and groups and classes and interests, understanding each other none too well, have conflicting ideas of justice, the task is extremely difficult”
-Roscoe Pound, 1906
