Elitist legal judgements

Active judicial prejudice
Elitist justice

Nature

Justice serves only the the rich and influential who have any control over the structures of law when majority of people are not able to participate in articulating the need for new (and the revision of old) statutes to meet present-day needs.

Claim

The present legal system has a bias toward the rich and powerful - the people who have run the system for hundreds of years.

Counter-claim

Elitist legal judgments are often overstated as a problem. The legal system, by its nature, requires expertise and nuanced understanding, which elite judges provide. Their decisions, grounded in extensive knowledge, ensure the rule of law is upheld. Instead of viewing this as elitism, we should recognize it as a necessary safeguard against populism and emotional decision-making. The focus should be on improving access to legal resources, not undermining the expertise that maintains justice and order.
