Letter From Birmingham Jail

What does it mean for a law to be just on its face but not in application?

Dr. king describes what a just laws look like. Additionally, he explains at length some ways in which laws can be unjust. Using Kong’s description of just laws vs. unjust law, create a “just law rubric” or “just law checklist”.

This refers to the fact that a law may be just on paper, but it is not always just in the way in which it is applied or interpreted.
