For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Whatever you wish your fellow human being that is what you will get. By condemning your fellow human being you are indirectly condemning yourself.

Pure, orthodox and incorruptible, Judge Bao has been serving as the preeminent embodiment of justice in China for almost a thousand years, so much so his court cases have been adapted as stories, novels and plays over the centuries. Now, for the very first time a series of eight ballad-stories on Judge Bao, dating from the period 1250-1450, are offered in a complete and annotated translation. These texts will provide the reader a reflection of the legend of Judge Bao in its earliest phase of development, with an extended introduction placing the ballad-stories in context with the development of the Judge Bao legend. These ballad-stories, in contrast to past plays dating from the same period, present abuse of power and corruption as endemic in the courts and bureaucratic service, and show Judge Bao imposing the rule of law even on the emperor.
Having defined all of these terms it would remain to piece them all together to give an insight to what this paper seeks to do. This paper aims to enlighten us on the importance for the judiciary to be impossible to corrupt morally and as such dispense their functions in a fair and just manner that would trigger, alter and increase in severity the progress of the our country Nigeria. This is an advocacy that hopes to jolt the judiciary to rise to the morally incorruptible pedestal as is the expectation of the populace.
A corrupt judge does not carefully search for the truth[7]; when the truth of a case is not properly sought out the people suffer injustice in the very hands of those who are to uphold same. As the days go by, the glaring nature of the menace corruption has become in our society cannot be overlooked. This factor necessitates this discuss. It is said that in order for one to move forward exponentially, which is the end goal of this paper, one has to go down memory lane albeit to pin point the pitfalls over the years. This section of this paper seeks to x-ray the past and present activities of the judiciary in order that we may move forward.
Whilst judicial corruption that stems from bribery has monetary consideration as the reason behind the pervasion of justice and propagation of inequality in the application of the law by the judiciary; the judicial corruption emanating from bias is more subtle and difficult to detect and is often times not induced by any of the parties to the suit. The bottom line being that which route is towed the end point is the in equitability in the application of the law to similar situations which results in inequality. For instance, a female judge who went through a gruesome divorce in the hands of a terrible husband when faced with a divorce case will be more sympathetic and likely to favour the female. The same goes for the male judge suffered loss of property during a separation without meaning to this judge will in inclined to help his male counterpart preserve and walk away with as much of his property to himself as is possible within the law. In either of the examples the judge is no longer seeking the truth in and the justice of the case but his own kind of justice which may not be justice in the eyes of the common man.
The menace of corruption has eaten so deep into the fabric of the judiciary and is not restricted to one ethnic group or geographical location. Although, some claim that certain judges from a particular geographically areas are more corrupt than the others, this claim remains to be substantiated. In Aregbesola vs. Olagunsoye Oyinlola[16], the three judges who presided over the matter at the Osun Election Petitions Tribunal not only arrived at a decision but also were faulty in their findings leaving much to be desired. The faulty finding was traceable to the issue of one Alhaji S.O. Nofiu who signed Forms EC8B in nine out of eleven wards in Ife Central Local Government Area of the state. Ready to appeal against the shame of a judgment, the party against whom judgment was given obtained the certified true copies of the judgment but were ordered by the court to return it. According to a Non Governmental Organization; the Justice Now Foundation[17], the tribunal judges made two contradictory findings as regards the evidence of forms EC8B in nine out of eleven wards in Ife Central Local Government Area signed by one Alhaji N. O. Nofiu. The findings were glaringly faulty in the face of the fact that no reason was advanced by the Respondents to explain why this happened. In the face of this misnomer however, in its holding the Tribunal stated thus:
Justice delayed is inevitably justice denied. It is the reality today that matters before courts do not proceed as they ought. Sometimes this is due to the delay tactics of the counsel and at other times it is the judge themselves who fail to sit as frequently as they should. The resultant delay leads to the cases outliving those who filed them in court.
In order to solve the problem of delay therefore, a time frame for the resolution of matters ought to be inserted into the rules. After the expiration of the stipulated period, the counsel and the judge involved in such a delayed matter should forward an explanation to the Chief Judge of the court and the National Judicial Council. In addition, the judge would then suggest a period of time estimated for the conclusion of the cases. It is also recommended that the fast track system, settlement week, electronic-filling system, case management conferences and the frontloading system that have been fully imbibed and is being implemented in Lagos state and in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja are commendable and should be adopted by other states as an instrument to ensure the quick dispensation of justice and equity.
[11] A situation where the cases that come before the court experience untold delay lasting for fifteen (15) years in certain cases either by the delay occasioned by the judges themselves or the lawyers who appear before them or sometimes due to no fault of any of the players.
Ōoka was born in 1677, but did not come into public notice until he was 35, when he was appointed an obscure judgeship. When he accepted this job, he found out that there was a long-standing boundary dispute between the farmers of the Yamada and Wakayama (Kishū) fiefs. While it was obvious that the Yamada claim was the just one, no previous judge had been foolish enough to irritate Yoshimune, Lord of Kishū, as he was very close to the shogun, Tokugawa Ietsugu. However, Ōoka took up the case, and immediately settled it on its merits.[1]
Yoshimune was so impressed that when he became shōgun five years later, he took the unusual action of promoting Ōoka over hundreds of other candidates, to the important post of machi-bugyō (magistrate) of Edo (old name for Tokyo). The post of machi-bugyō combined the duties of mayor, police chief, judge, and fire marshal.
One of the most famous stories is called "The Case of the Stolen Smell" where he heard the case of a paranoid innkeeper who accused a poor student of literally stealing the fumes of his cooking by eating when the innkeeper was cooking to flavour his dull food. Although his colleagues advised Ōoka to throw the case out as ridiculous, he decided to hear it. The judge resolved the matter by ordering the student to pass the money he had in one hand to his other, and ruling that the price of the smell of food is the sound of money.[3]
