The concept of justice is a focal point in personal injury law. Clients want to be compensated for certain logistical aspects of the injury, for example, lost wages or medical costs. But they often want justice - and not everyone defines this the same way. And if you are representing a defendant in a personal injury action that makes it to trial, they want a fair trial. And once again, not everyone defines fair the same way.
This question may be looking at how you approach a courtroom knowing that while there are rules in place to make it fair, it is also filled with humans that have agendas, biases, and expectations. As an officer of the court and an advocate for your client, focus on your trust in the system to achieve the best outcome for your client.

"There are many terms in law that are open to interpretation: reasonable, justice, and fair. A definition of those terms can change depending on whether you are on the plaintiff or defendant side of the case. It can change depending on the area of law you are practicing.
In my opinion, a fair trial is one where the legal system performed at each stage in the way it was intended. It does not mean that your client always will win or have favorable outcomes. But the legal system is designed to settle disputes. If the dispute was resolved, it was a fair trial."
