justice
When referring to fairness or the legal system, "justice" is usually an uncountable noun (you cannot say "a justice" to mean a fair act). However, when referring to a judge, it becomes a countable noun. In this case, you can use it with numbers or articles, such as "the Justice" or "three Justices." In formal contexts, the word is often capitalized (Justice) when used as a title before a person's name.
