| Episode Title | Discussing Capital Punishment |
| Phrase | justice |
| Text | The word "justice," in this podcast, means fair and just behavior, and the principle of treating everyone fairly or equally: "The right to a fair trial is a critical part of justice in any nation." Or, "The children have a strong sense of justice, always insisting that everyone's portion of dessert be the same size." The phrase "to do justice to (something)" means to do something as well as it should be done, or to represent something fully or fairly: "This is my best attempt to paint the landscape, but it doesn't do justice to the natural beauty." Finally, the phrase "justice has been served" means that someone has received a deserved punishment, or that someone has been treated fairly: "The judge sentenced him to 20 years in prison. Justice has been served." |
