This is why when disputes occur men have recourse
to a judge. To go to a judge is to go to justice, for the ideal judge is so to speak
justice personified. Also, men require a judge to be a middle term or
medium—indeed in some places judges are called
mediators—, for they think that if they get the mean they will get
what is just. Thus the just is a sort of mean, inasmuch as the judge is a medium between
the litigants.
