Seneca's version of the Golden Rule:
"Treat your inferiors as you would be treated by your betters."
Seneca the Younger
Letter XLVII: On master and slave, line 11 - Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium (Moral Letters to Lucilius)
Administer the standard of justice you would have administered to you (common law)

Hmm. Not everyone would want justice administered to them, would they? Justice is getting what you deserve, but most people would prefer mercy be given them, no?
As most people would prefer to achieve vengeance
These conflicting desires (hopefully) meet at justice
