When a court of law, a judge or a jury dispenses justice
Does it means they provide justice?
(or)
Do they exempt people to fulfill a legal obligation?
Here is what Merriam Webster Dictionary says.
dispense justice
To exempt from a law or release from a vow, oath, or impediment : to give dispensation (see DISPENSATION sense 2a) to : EXEMPT
Here is what Collins Dictionary says
Dispense
If someone dispenses something that they own or control, they give or provide it to a number of people.
[formal]
I would appreciate if someone from English speaking country resolves the confusion
