One major theme in the short-story, Conscience of the Court, is justice. This theme is illustrated in the professional and morally sound court, which is presided over by a judge, who is willing to hear and consider all testimony and details of the crime Laura is accused of. In this text. Hurston is hightlighting the reliability of the American judicial system.
