In the beginning of Sefer Devarim, Moshe reminisces of the time when he appointed judges in order to decrease his own, impossible workload. While doing so, he relates the instructions that he gave to those judicial appointees at that time: to rule in a fair manner, to recognize that not only do our brothers deserve justice, but the stranger does, as well, not to show favoritism, and to listen to the lowly member of society just as you listen to others. One additional command given to them reads as follows: “Fear no man [lo taguru], for judgment is God’s” (Devarim 1:17).
