 Distributive justice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Distributive justice concentrates on just outcomes, while procedural justice concentrates on just processes.
Distributive justice concerns what is just or right with respect to the allocation of goods (or utility) in a society.
For example, someone who looks at standard of living, absolute wealth, differences in wealth, or any such utilitarian standard to judge justice is using a type of end-state theory.

 Procedural justice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Procedural justice concerns the fairness of the processes by which decisions are made, and may be contrasted with the distributive justice (fairness in the distribution of rights or resources), and corrective justice (fairness in the rectification of wrongs).
Procedural justice is an umbrella term for the administration of justice and legal proceedings in a procedurally fair and transparent manner, and encompasses the related terms due process (U.S.), fundamental justice (Canada) and natural justice (other Common law jurisdictions).
In the United States, for example, a concern for procedural justice is reflected in the Due Process clauses of the United States Constitution.

 Thomas Aquinas: Commutative and Distributive Justice
Therefore distributive justice is a part, not of particular, but of legal justice.
Moreover distribution of common goods is sometimes made not to the state but to the members of a family, and such distribution can be made by authority of a private individual.
Further, the distribution that has to do with distributive justice is one of "wealth or of honors, or of whatever can be distributed among the members of the community", which very things are the subject matter of commutations between one person and another, and this belongs to commutative justice.

 Rawls on Justice as Fairness
The principles of justice may, then, be regarded as those principles which arise when the constraints of having a morality are imposed upon parties in the typical circumstances of justice.
For these reasons the principles of justice have a special weight; and with respect to the principle of the greatest satisfaction of desire, as cited in the general position amongst those discussing the merits of their common practices, the principles of justice have an absolute weight.
It is typical of cases of justice to involve persons who are pressing on one another their claims, between which a fair balance or equilibrium must be found.

 The Bioethical Principle of Distributive Justice and the State
Socialism claims distributive justice as one of its key principles because, as illustrated in the WHO report, in its outworking, distributive justice aggrandizes the authority of the state.
The term distributive justice is used by ethicists to refer to a fair distribution in society, according to norms that the society adopts, of economic goods (such as welfare, research grants, etc.) and fundamental political rights and burdens (such as paying taxes, military draft, etc.).
Distributive justice is joined to the principle of utility.

 ROBERT NOZICK: AGAINST DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE
149 The term distributive justice is not a neutral one.
He believes that its justice depends on the justice of the institutions, including legal institutions defining entitlement, which were involved in its production.
Any distribution, irrespective of any pattern it may or may not have, is just provided it has the appropriate history, provided it did in fact come about in accordance with the rules of acquisition, transfer and rectification.

 20th WCP: Environmental Justice: Some Ecofeminist Worries About a Distributive Model
A distributive model simply is inadequate, by itself, to the task of explicating and resolving the relevant issues of social and environmental justice.
Three strengths of a distributive model of social justice for environmental issues are worth noting: First, it permits the extension of favored mainstream ethical positions to environmental issues.
Social justice issues within this category challenge, for example, economic decision making structures which operate to reproduce patterns of wealth, privilege, and inequality, even if not all who make these decisions within those structures are themselves wealthy or privileged; (b) The definition (not distribution) of labor.

 20th WCP: A Humean Theory of Distributive Justice for a New Century
I claim that an attractive theory of distributive justice can be constructed by blending David Hume's ideas about the origins and purposes of justice with Ronald Dworkin's insurance-based justification for his equality of resources model of distributive justice.
And most credible theories of justice hold that property, the market, and promising are valuable institutions for securing these ends.
It must not distribute goods or opportunities unequally on the ground that some citizens are entitled to more because they are worthy of more concern.

 Distributive Justice, Restorative Justice
Restorative Justice is a process promoting the repair of harm caused by crime and the active involvement of victims and communities in justice processes, not simply a program or group of programs.
Restorative justice seeks to switch that focus to recognize the needs of victims, communities and criminal offenders as the parties impacted by crime.
Specifically, restorative justice sees the need to provide victims with a sense of fairness and access to a justice system that has few formal obligations to make things right for them.

 SSRN-Theories of Distributive Justice and Limitations on Taxation: What Rawls Demands from Tax Systems by Linda Sugin
It argues that the connection between taxes and justice is less specific than we might hope, and that theories of justice generally do not endorse particular tax policies, but are more likely to preclude them.
Rather than searching in theories of justice for required precepts of taxation, we might more fruitfully ask what constraints, if any, a particular theory of justice imposes on the tax system.
This paper, presented as part of Fordham Law School's conference on Rawls and the Law, considers how to approach tax policy in light of their analysis, and how to understand what John Rawls' theory of justice requires of a system of taxation under that approach.
