    That only addresses the communal/social aspect of justice. Attempt to conceive a code where the question of what must be done is answered simply like this: "The precepts of the law are these: to live honestly, to injure no one, and to give every man his due."

    It would entail the end of all quest for greater knowledge, clarity, power or freedom; as these are the result of individual accomplishment, often against the will of others.

    Definitely not police department. There should be no such thing as police. They don't give justice. They do the opposite. There should be keepers of the peace not cops. I only respect what the police force does in communist countries like china.

    According to Frédéric Bastiat in his book The Law: "The law is justice".
    He also says that justice in its prime and purest form (what it should be in a libertarian society) holds a negative value, and everybody who says it should have a positive value is wrong. For example, justice for the workers, women, minorities are all positive values, since they're about providing additional justice to certain groups in society. A negative justice would be one that exists only to repress injustice. In other words, the collective enforcement of justice is only pure when it's repressing injustice. And he defines injustice as any sort of aggression on the only rights individuals have: life, liberty and property. So injustice is whenever an agent is assaulting someone's property, whether it be by force, fraud or threat, and the law can only be true justice when these individuals are punishing those who have committed injustice.
