Summary/Abstract: Can we talk about the sacredness of justice? Which is the connection between the sacredness and the human activity of doing justice? These are the two research questions to which I will try to answer from my own perspective. Impartiality is the necessary condition for providing a fair, right justice. Only an impartial justice can be independent and right. Impartiality is neither assured by the salary or by the person who makes appointments or controls the work of judges but by the CHARACTER, by the CONSCIENCE and by the morality of those who judge. My opinion is that even when the state is laic or neutral, justice retains the sacred trait. The establishment of the regime of democracy makes justice to be administered in the name of the people, which means in fact that: is not less sacred as long as it is related to the infallibility of the popular will. Moreover, I began to realize that the sacredness of justice – to make justice to the people is an activity of those people meant to achieve it, the judges. This, I dare to say, does not derive only from the infallibility of the popular will or from the moral and professional ethics but also from the will of our creator, the creator of this world and the intermediate, the interface of this transfer, of the materiality of the world we live in and transcendence, is what we call our consciousness the only one which can make the difference between truth and lie, between justice and injustice.
