Ideally, they should be the same.

Regarding a perfect definition of justice, I agree partially with Darien. The exception is simple: Justice can have a clear definition if and only if there is such a thing as absolute right and absolute wrong, and, in such a case, must have a clear definition.

In the imperfect world we live in, I'd agree with the others as to the distinctions between the two.
