The jvoste has tolpaivu'e for injustice, implying pairvu'e for justice. But 
that is not justice; it is one who is just. lo ka pairvu'e is the property of 
being just, which one who judges can have; le si'o pairvu'e is justice in the 
abstract.

If le si'o drani is anything of the sort, it is righteousness, but I think 
it's the wrong phrase for that.
