Law as Integrity

Law as Integrity is a concept suggesting that laws should be consistent and reflect principles of fairness and justice. It emphasizes that legal systems function best when they are coherent—meaning laws are applied consistently and in a way that aligns with the community’s values and moral commitments. Essentially, the law should be a unified whole, guiding behavior and decisions that respect fairness. This idea encourages lawmakers and judges to interpret and create laws in a manner that maintains the integrity of the legal system, fostering trust and legitimacy.
