Echoes of the love command in the halls of justice

Hidden in plain sight in hundreds of judicial opinions is an extraordinary principle—love your neighbor as yourself.

520 |a Hidden in plain sight in hundreds of judicial opinions is an extraordinary principle—love your neighbor as yourself. At first blush the idea of its application to our legal relations seems odd: This is a matter of morality, not legality. But the biblical command to love neighbor as self has exerted an important influence upon the decisions of American courts. While more frequently excluded from application, the love command has found expression in a wide range of cases. From criminal to civil procedure, from torts to contracts, from employment to family disputes, neighbor-love has been a vital part of American jurisprudence.This article will highlight the application of the love command to legal disputes by courts, as well as provide a brief overview of the biblical texts and scholarly legal commentary dealing with the love command. Its main purpose is descriptive—pointing out what we haven't noticed—but it is also normative—we have missed something important—neighbor-love is not out of place in the courtroom. It has been, and should continue to be, applied to legal relationships by our courts.
