A quick definition of popular justice:

Popular justice refers to the idea of justice that is based on public opinion, which may not always be fair or proper. It is different from social justice, which is based on moral principles like equality. Other types of justice include commutative justice, which deals with fairness in exchange and contractual obligations, and distributive justice, which involves the fair allocation of resources and burdens within a community. Justices are judges, with the chief justice being the presiding justice of an appellate court, and circuit justices having jurisdiction over specific federal circuits.

A more thorough explanation:

Popular justice refers to the idea of justice that satisfies the prevailing public opinion in a particular case, even if it is considered less than fully fair and proper. It is also known as demotic justice.

For example, if a person is accused of a crime and the public believes they are guilty, they may face popular justice in the form of harassment or violence, even if they have not been proven guilty in a court of law. This type of justice is not always fair or just, as it is based on public opinion rather than legal principles.

It is important to note that popular justice should not be confused with social justice, which is based on moral principles such as equality for all people.

pt 148 s3q16 has some of the craziest answer choice statistics I've ever seen on 7sage. 33% of people pick the correct answer and 59% of people all pick the same incorrect answer

my lawhub has lapsed, i’m curious on what the question is

There are already more great artworks in the world than any human being could appreciate in a lifetime, works capable of satisfying virtually any taste imaginable. Thus, contemporary artists, all of whom believe that their works enable many people to feel more aesthetically fulfilled than they otherwise could, are mistaken. The argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it:

[] baddestbunny

21:55

(A) overlooks the possibility that not all contemporary artists believe that their works enable many people to feel more aesthetically fulfilled than they otherwise could (B) presumes, without providing justification, that most human beings are inclined to take the time to appreciate many great artworks (C) presumes, without providing justification, that the value of an artwork depends on the degree to which human beings appreciate it D) overlooks the possibility that the work of at least one contemporary artist is appreciated by many people whose access to the great majority of other artworks is severely restricted (E) presumes, without providing justification, that the number and variety of great artworks already in the world affects the amount of aesthetic fulfillment derivable from any contemporary artwork

[] baddestbunny

21:56

which one do you think is correct and which one do you think the majority of people picked?

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

22:12

that’s a hard one

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

22:15

i think E is the right answer

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

22:15

but i’m not super certain, it’s tricky

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

i think it’s a toss up between D and E

[] baddestbunny

22:33

aw babes it’s D

[] baddestbunny

22:33

but most people picked E

[] baddestbunny

22:42

I think the issue with E is that it specifies affecting the amount of aesthetic fulfillment derivable from each artwork, which isn’t a point of contention in the original argument

[] baddestbunny

22:47

D presents a loophole. what if you don’t have access to the great art of the first premise? then contemporary art might start to look real good to you at that point, if only for lack of other options

but definitely a tough one! I think the score band from median to 75th for this on 7sage was 171 to 180

I remember that question

1a2b3c4d26z

2:19

There were certain questions for me that even when I was scoring 170+, I had just come to terms that I was okay getting it wrong

That was one of them
