How do you compare justice and mercy?

Good question. Many people believe that Justice and Mercy have one meaning, but in my opinion justice is when the maintenance and administration of something that is just esp. by the impartial adjustment of conflicting claims and the assignment of merited rewards and/or punishments. On the other hand mercy is when someone shows compassion and forbearance to another, esp. to an offender and/or to one who is subject to another's power. Many people don't come up with these questions, but that's an interesting question. Comparing justice from mercy is simple, you show mercy in justice, you can't have mercy without justice in a matter, and you can't have justice without mercy in a matter, it's plain simple.
