For a long time, I have always considered that the law and justice goes hand in hand. We do not want laws that produce unjust outcome.
I have met some lawyers who proudly proclaim their knowledge of the law, even if the outcome is unjust. They say, "This is the law". It is practiced as it was written and interpreted by the courts. It seemed to imply that the concept of justice is irrelevant.
I read this article with some interest, as it also touch on the concept of law and its outcome:

We will be a poorer society, if the law is written to benefit certain people, who have the means to pay expensive lawyer to defend their interest against the common sense of justice!
