Deuteronomy 25:1

If there is a dispute between men and they come into court and the judges decide between them, acquitting the innocent and condemning the guilty ,

When people have a dispute, they are to take it to court and the judges will decide the case, acquitting the innocent and condemning the guilty.

If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
