Oh well,
Just posted this on an FZ forum.

IMO the downfall of COS, and extremely negative view of scientology by the world in general is primarily due to its history of injustice. Just for starters , every disconnection is an extreme violation of justice. Then the executives have a record of frequently, and probably usually interfering with the judicial, who frequently are expected to do their work after midnight, when they are tired and just want to go home. Command intention has traditionally ruled out any attempts at justice.
There are many nice statements in green on white on the subject, but this has not prevented fatal flaws in the scn justice system.
"(11) The only overt in handling justice is not to work for the greatest good of the greatest number. "
This is again IMO a flawed statement, specially when put in the context of other issues.
Disconnections, declares, other weird justice actions may apparently be for the greatest good, but in the longer term alienate the public. Every disconnection, injustice. probably results in dozens of people who will never look at the subject of scientology ever.
I'd say the only overt re justice is to get matters wrong.
From HCOPL 24 feb 1972 INJUSTICE
" The cycle is, goofs are made. The real why is not located or handled, and
when this happens angry executives, who have to pick up the ball start shooting."
That this can happen is a string to pull re the failures of the scn justice system.
From the same PL:-
" Any staff member who does not know ethics policy is a clay pidgeon."
In the " wog" world we get to choose our own lawyer.
" But it sometimes happens that injustices occur......"
" Usually this occurs because because the staff member is pitifully ignorant of his rights."
One might say by joining staff, one then becomes a victim.
"Psychiatry .........uses the "justice" procedures developed in the days of witch burning, unknown accusers, opinions only, punished before being tried, etc."
" Lord forbid we ever fall into such barbarism ourselves."
You become that which you resist?

Here are a couple of webpages discussing these issues which do
a far better job than I of looking at this area.
