what does "Administering justice" mean

i've looked up the dictionary i know what both words mean 'individually' but not when they are combined into two.

Can anyone explain it to me. Thanks?

Hi, Without any context, it sounds like you are talking about what a judge does in his or her court. Do you have any other context? Clive

Hi,

I am not able to get back the original context now

I am not using English as my first language.

I understand what "administer" and "justice" mean (individually) in my language, but when they are used together my understanding doesn't make sense.

What possible meanings could it carry? Any example? I can try to understand from the example.

Thanks

As I said I understood both words individually without problems. I know what 'administer' is and what 'judge' is but I simply don't understand what it means when they come together.

Hi,
