Paragraph-
During this time justice was something that was used to keep whites in power judgement was used against the blacks and justice was not served. justice and judgement play a large role in this book. They are two main points in court as well as any other time. We notice judgement when Calpurnia takes Jem and Scout to her black church. The blacks are constantly being judged by the whites because they think they are superior. The blacks are constantly getting blamed for things and no matter how hard they try they wont be treated equally or with the same respect. Atticus tries to show the courtroom that justice should be served towards the blacks. Justice and Judgement are very important in To Kill a Mockingbird and are the main points.
