Mysteriously, some sense justice when others sense injustice. ... The desire to sense justice in events may cause people to look to law as an instrument to control... events. Then justice has preceded law. Law is made a part of events and is itself then viewed as promoting or blocking justice, depending on the role it plays and also depending on the perceived self-interest of the participants in, or viewers of, the events [Hartzler 1976:4
