Justice stands for harmony between individuals’ interest and the interest of the society. It is the quality of being just, impartial, fair, equally and balanced. Equity also harps on fairness and impartiality. Justice and equity are therefore inter-related and act pari-passu in the administration of justice. Justice is viewed from different perspectives. No matter the views, they complement equity to administer justice. Different strata of the society, like the bench, bar and others play very vital roles in the administration of justice. The various classifications of justice also reveal the different roles they play in attainment of it. Both concepts are efficacious in the administration of justice in Nigeria, as a society without justice is not worthless even though there is no perfect justice system.
