Justice, Justice You Shall Pursue    Article


 
“Justice, justice shall you pursue, so that you may live and possess the land God, your God, is giving you” (Deuteronomy16:20). Although the simple, literal sense of this injunction is directed to the judges and society in general, Rashi clarifies that it is actually directed to the litigants. The doubled language of “justice, justice” indicates that one should not be satisfied to bring one’s case to court, but one should actively seek out the most competent and knowledgeable court to hear their case. The double language of “justice, justice” indicates as well that this statement applies to both the community and the individual.
