It is and it isn't. The law is constantly trying to create a balance between the rights of the individual and the power of the state. It would be farfetched to say that the law is absolutely unjust, because then there wouldn't be an established system of law. Nobody would obey such a system anyway.

It all depends on how you approach it and from what angle you approach it. Keep in mind that the law must exist for the benefits and welfare of everyone in a community. Different groups make a community, so there must be some compromise to ensure that at least some demands of each group are met. However, the law is more or less a utilitarian system, the greatest good for the greatest amount of people is the main rule of thumb. However, the minorities must not be ignored either, because the system would appear inhumane and unjust, which reflects poorly on the country as a whole.

Often erroneously credited to Fr. Edward Flanagan of Boys Town, the phrase "there's no such thing as a bad boy" was first coined by Floyd Starr in 1910 in a sociology class at Albion College, Albion, Michigan. Three years later Starr would write The Starr Commonwealth Creed, a statement of his beliefs regarding "bad" boys in which he reaffirmed his statement that "there is no such thing as a bad boy." That year he founded the Starr Commonwealth just west of Albion and set to work proving his premise. His character rebuilding institution has been instrumental in positively impacting the lives of thousands of boys, and later girls, too, helping them to find their ways in the world as steadfast, repectable citizens, many Starr alumni having distinguished themselves in a variety of fields.
