Why are courts unfair?

Courts can be perceived as unfair due to various factors, including systemic biases such as racial, economic, or gender discrimination that can influence outcomes. Additionally, disparities in legal representation—where wealthier individuals have access to better lawyers—can lead to unequal justice. Procedural complexities and a lack of understanding of the legal system can also disadvantage certain defendants, further contributing to perceptions of unfairness. Lastly, personal biases of judges and juries can affect their decision-making, leading to inconsistent verdicts.
