"When we read about appointing judges, and the dangers of bribery and corruption, we must remember that there are those who openly wish to undermine our judicial system. Some simply donāt believe that some of our leaders might be acting corruptly, some want to allow the to take its course, some wish to convict without due process, and some just donāt care whether our leaders are corrupt. Shoftim is also a parasha where I remember one of my mentors, Rabbi David Forman zāl. āJustice, justice shall you pursueā (Deuteronomy 16:20) was one of his most frequently quoted verses, along with the explanation that ājusticeā is repeated twice because we must pursue justice through just means."
