How do you spell the word for fair treatment?

The correct spelling of the word for fair treatment is Justice: j-u-s-t-i-c-e, seven letters, with the ending -ice (silent e). The word comes from the Latin justitia, from justus (just or righteous), ultimately from jus (law or right). The most common spelling errors are doubling the s (Jusstice), substituting the ending (Justise or Justis), or missing the silent e (Justic).

On the USCIS writing test sentences containing justice are common, including "Liberty and justice for all," "What is justice?" or "Justices serve on the Supreme Court." The word has two related meanings on the citizenship test: the broader concept of fairness and the title of Supreme Court members.

Justice as fairness appears in the Preamble to the Constitution, which lists "establish Justice" as one of the federal government's six core purposes, and in the Pledge of Allegiance, which ends "with liberty and justice for all." Justice as a title is used for members of the U.S. Supreme Court: the Chief Justice (currently John Roberts) and the eight Associate Justices.

The federal Department of Justice (DOJ), headed by the Attorney General, enforces federal law and prosecutes federal crimes; its component agencies include the FBI, the DEA, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The civics test asks questions about the Preamble, the Supreme Court, and the role of the judicial branch in protecting rights.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), established by act of Congress in 1870, is one of the executive cabinet departments and is led by the Attorney General. DOJ employees number approximately 117,000 across its component agencies and headquarters.
