@jewcrazy: Parshat Shoftim (“Judges”) commands the Israelites to appoint judges and officers to ensure justice is pursued honestly, without corruption or favoritism. Convictions require careful investigation and at least two reliable witnesses. Moses teaches that in every generation, leaders will guide the people in applying Torah law, and their rulings must be followed faithfully. This preserves order and keeps the Torah alive in daily life. The parshah also sets laws about kings, idolatry, cities of refuge, rules of war, and the prohibition of needless destruction. It ends with the eglah arufah ritual, reminding the community of its responsibility to prevent harm and uphold justice
