LEV445 It is a negative commandment to commit no injustice in rendering judgment as Scripture says, You shall do no injustice in judgment [this verse]. This means not to declare the guilty innocent or the innocent guilty. Included in this prohibition is the rule not to delay the verdict. After it has become evident to the judge where justice lies, if he dwells at length on clear matters in order to cause one of the litigants distress, this is in the general category of injustice.
