"A Tale of Two Cities" written by Charles Dickens is a novel that has much to say about justice. There is a famous passage: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was a season of Light, it was a season of Darkness, it was the Spring of hope, it was the Winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us....". Although the events in the novel are far more tragic, the above could easily be said of the emotions of anyone who has been through a long and grueling lawsuit. There are many wide ranging definitions and disputes as to what justice is, but most agree with the maxim that "justice delayed is justice denied".
