Abstract
This chapter first examines different notions of justice a. Justice is integral to democracy. Yet, the term “justice” is complex. What exactly does justice entail? This chapter begins to answer this question in light of democratic concerns and the information age. The chapter concludes by linking the ideas of justice for democracy with relevant skills, dispositions and school climate attributes.
