Social Justice
(redirected from Civil justice)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.
Social Justice
A general term for a system in which human rights are protected and persons within a society are relatively equal to one another. In economic terms, social justice refers to narrowing the gap between the very rich and the very poor and to improving the lot of the less fortunate. The term has somewhat left-leaning connotations as many social justice policies require some sort of government involvement. However, the term was originally primarily religious.
