Equal justice under law

Equal justice under law is a phrase that means everyone should get fair treatment from the law. This means that no one should get special treatment just because they are rich, powerful, or famous, and no one should get punished more just because they are poor, weak, or unknown. Everyone should get the same kind of respect and have an equal chance in the eyes of the law.
