What are three ways in which Atticus showed fairness (justice) in To Kill A Mockingbird?

In addition to the examples noted in the previous response, I'd note the following
examples which are not major plot points but show that 's character is always concerned with
fairness and justice:

In , a rare snowfall graces Maycomb, but there is
barely enough to cover the ground.andwant to make a snowman, but Atticus tells them that he
really doesn't think it's possible. Nevertheless, the kids set out to try, and they end up using
mud to create the base and then covering it with snow. Jem's construction ends up being such a
close replica of Mr. Avery that Atticus grows concerned:


Atticus squinted at the snowman a while. He grinned, then laughed. Son, I cant tell
what youre going to bean engineer, a lawyer, or a portrait painter. Youve perpetrated a near
libel here in the front yard. Weve got to disguise this fellow.

Atticus
suggested that Jem hone down his creations front a little, swap a broom for the stovewood, and
put an apron on him.
