“Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.”
The obligation is stated: "Give justice to the weak and the orphan; maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute." The proper function of judges is protection and advocacy for the vulnerable. The enumeration of weak, orphan, lowly, and destitute emphasizes the special concern of justice for those without power.
