Abstract

In the search for Justice, equity, whose roots date back to Antiquity, and the new rhetoric, proposed by Chaim Perelman in the work Ethics and Law, should be used as guiding instruments for the application of rules to specific cases. In order to assure a fair and balanced social coexistence in a society with an increasing and rapid evolution, whose legislation is not always able to follow this same evolution, it is necessary that the interpreters of the Law make use of ethical values. Justice is an aspiration of the human being who intends to find the Justice that is possible to be achieved, having the Law as a means to achieve this purpose, through the establishment of rules of conduct that assure peace and social harmony. However, Justice is an unfinished idea, since society is always in constant transformation and evolution, seeking to improve what it considers as fair and good.
