Is America legal system fair?
Not really. The Judicial Branch is responsible for ensuring a law follows the principles of the Constitution. Unconstitutional laws may also be fundamentally unfair; however, a court cannot overturn a law based on perceived "unfairness" alone, as most people would define the concept. Many laws are unfair to certain people or groups (Jim Crow laws were extremely unfair to African-Americans), but the judicial system is only concerned with whether a law is faithful to constitutional principles (Jim Crow laws were also unconstitutional). The courts may uphold a law that seems unfair, and may be arguably unconstitutional, if the government can demonstrate the law serves a compelling and legitimate government interest and is written narrowly, so that it accomplishes its purpose with as little negative impact as possible.

Even then, the courts may uphold a law that seems unfair, and may be arguably unconstitutional, if the government can demonstrate the law serves a compelling and legitimate government interest and is written narrowly, so that it accomplishes its purpose with as little negative impact as possible.
