injustice
Let an agent explain injustice as a concept, relay philosophical, legal and social theories with attribution, describe the named forms, point people facing unfair treatment to legal aid, ombudsmen or human rights bodies, and distinguish injustice from illegality, inequality, misfortune and specific legal offences such as perverting the course of justice.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain injustice as a concept, relay philosophical, legal and social theories with attribution, describe the named forms, point people facing unfair treatment to legal aid, ombudsmen or human rights bodies, and distinguish injustice from illegality, inequality, misfortune and specific legal offences such as perverting the course of justice.
The quality or instance of unfairness or of violating rights or justice, discussed in ethics, law and social theory in forms such as perversion of the course of justice, favouritism, environmental injustice, when harms fall disproportionately on marginalised communities, occupational injustice, a concept in occupational therapy about barriers to meaningful activity, epistemic injustice, described by philosopher Miranda Fricker as wrongs done to someone in their capacity as a knower, and Basmanny justice, a Russian term used by critics for courts seen as serving political ends; claims of injustice are often contested and are attributed.
What it is for: Not applicable; a moral and social concept.
It can be explain theories with attribution; relay named forms; describe contested examples neutrally; point to remedies and support.
