You say there is no human, non-religious standard for judging laws and social institutions and that perfect ones can only be established by god. First, would you reject, utilitarianism, justice as fairness, intuitionism etc. on the principle that they are trying to establish a standard by which we judge laws/social institutions?
Second, since various religions obviously have different tenants, do you believe that justice for people of different religions is fundamentally different?

The original reads, "Iustitia est constans et perpetua voluntas ius suum cuique tribuens".

Precisely. As in the well-known Latin phrase iustitio pauperem puerum; nullum corpus me amat.
