DEUT1399 It is a negative commandment for a judge not to pervert justice for a proselyte or an orphan for Scripture says, You shall not pervert the judgment of a ger or an orphan [this verse]. If someone transgressed and did deal unjustly with the case of a convert or the case of an orphan, he would violate two prohibitions (one, You shall do no injustice in judgment -- Va-yikra 19:15; and one, this prohibition).
