ABSTRACT: This paper considers two problems in Lucretius' account of the origin of justice: its assumption of an apparently un-Epicurean absolute notion of fairness, and its unexplained assertion that the earliest humans were at risk of catastrophic extinction.
There has been a previous study of ancient theories of justice from the perspective of the Darwinian game known as the Prisoner's Dilemma by Nicholas Denyer in 1983,1 but since then great advances have been made in Prisoner's Dilemma and other so-called Darwinian game theories, especially since the mideighties and Robert Axelrod's computer models.2 These advances have allowed a radically different view of the place of cooperation and altruism in evolution, and inevitably will affect our view of ancient theories and their relationship to Darwinian thinking.

Justice Options for Women Project started in1999 when some community members and organizations were concerned that restorative justice approaches would be used in cases where women had been victims of violence without enough consideration of the needs of women and consultation with the community.
While restorative justice does need to be addressed, both from the concern that restorative justice risks making woman abuse "private" and for the potential to support women who are victims of violence, restorative justice options should not detract from the continuing efforts needed in the justice system.
We recommend a policy that in situations of domestic violence any alternative to the justice system, including Restorative Justice or Alternative Measures, be post-charge only.

It gives me enormous pleasure and satisfaction to have been asked to share with you my thoughts about philanthropy's role in promoting social justice.
Third, I want to talk about how foundations can overcome these barriers and begin to more actively engage in social justice grantmaking.
It is important that foundations understand that social justice grantmaking encompasses a wide range of grantmaking strategies.
This suggests that an essential strategy is to support the development and capacity of nongovernmental groups that represent the groups affected by the social inequity, so that they are able to express and advocate on their on behalf and, as a result, leverage greater support for their issue from all three sectors.

Support from this conclusion can be gleaned from a glance at the section of NEPAD entitled 'Democracy and Political Governance Initiative that is a clear endorsement of the 'good governance' discourse promoted by the highly contested 'Washington Consensus' while it is silent on gender analysis as a diagnostic and assessment tool.
When structural adjustment failed to bring about the anticipated growth rate after a decade of hard measures, the focus turned to getting 'institutions right' via the promotion of the 'good governance' agenda.
There were other examples of lack of responsiveness by African leaders that was highlighted by the aforementioned meeting and focusing on the democracy and governance initiative.

The Institute for Justice is a nonprofit, public interest law center committed to defending the essential foundations of a free society through securing greater protection for individual liberty and restoring constitutional limits on the power of government.
The makers of our Constitution undertook to secure conditions favorable to the pursuit of happiness.
Every political and legal scholar in our philosophical tradition has written about the need for limits on government power and the importance of preserving personal liberty.
When opponents to the proposed constitution objected that it lacked a bill of rights, defenders argued vociferously that any effort to enumerate rights would be both unnecessary and dangerous.

It took me a long time to decide what to say, and a theme occurred to me only a few weeks ago, after I participated in a debate sponsored by one of the lawyers' chapters of the Federalist Society.
The debate was entitled, "Justice Brennan: Hero or Villain?"
* Professor of Law, New York University Law School.
Others could not control the impulse to jeer.
And I thought to myself, "The Warren Court and the Great Society ended a long time ago.
The attitude of the audience toward Justice Brennan was equally interesting.
For as much as they reviled the Justice---and they did---they also respected him enormously.
They had not just missed what it was that made Justice Brennan a special kind of judge, but they had it exactly backwards.

Restorative justice' is the popular name given to a wide range of emerging justice approaches that aim for more healing and satisfying responses to crime.
In earlier times, many societies dealt with justice issues within the community --- involving all of those persons affected.
It works to make people and communities whole rather than split them apart: The adversarial and punishment approach typically creates an 'us/them' world of separation and outcasts, further weakening connections and the health of the community.
Restorative justice attempts to make us more aware of each other's needs and how to meet them by having learned from what went wrong and moving through a process, within community, of finding the best way forward.
