Gordon Hewart, in Rex v. Sussex Justices ex parte McCarthy (1924), who literally said "Not only must Justice be done; it must also be seen to be done."

(The sentiment is obviously in the English tradition, so that the only possibility other than a British jurist would have been an American jurist.)

Would it not be better if the criteria for legal outcome were not only must justice be seen to be done but justice must actually be done?

This aphorism is stated in the order that we are accustomed to for historical reasons. The principle that justice should be done was accepted from the earliest times. It was probably accepted as a sine qua non of justice even before the Emperor Justinian gave his name to the concept of justice. The principle that justice must be seen to be done came later, and is still not universally accepted, even in countries with advanced legal systems. The best reason for keeping the saying as it is may be that insisting on visible justice is the best way of ensuring actualjustice being done. It is instructive to consider the previous paragraph in the light of Guantanamo Bay.

When can you use by and when for?

No, because it is not correct English. You can use "by when"-- which is a business expression, referring to which specific time or which specific date something must be completed. But there is no expression "when for"-- there is only "what for," another way of asking why something happened or why something must be done.

When you need to satisfy two or more criteria to initiate an event in a program you must make sure that the second decision is made entirely independently of the first decision?

Evaluate the criteria before executing the conditional expression. In pseudocode:result1 = evaluate( criteria1 );result2 = evaluate( criteria2 );if( result1 && result2 ) initiate_event;Note that this is not the same as the following:if( evaluate( criteria1 ) && evaluate( criteria2 )) initiate_event;If the evaluation of criteria1 fails for any reason, then the whole expression fails and criteria2 is never evaluated. so if the evaluations must be done independently of each other, then they must be done prior to the conditional expression, storing the results for use in the conditional expression.
