The Caucus of Justice is generally described as a convergence of two ideological lines of thought with differing histories and philosophical bases but generally similar goals.


In economic matters, the Caucus of Justice takes a reformist approach, opposing both the market liberalism and "managerial" ordoliberalism of the Shaftonist-Republicans and the more dramatically distributistic goals of the Caritists. The CoR legislates heavily on issues such as consumer protection, insurance reform, working conditions, while also encouraging small-buisiness growth and greater access to credit. Within the caucus, there is a philosophical divide between the Traditionalists, who have opposed the Shaftonist-Republican development agenda, and the Reformists, who support development but seek to control its excesses and mitigate its failures.
===Economics===
In economic matters, the official vision of the Caucus of Justice is a "virtuous and rooted market economy" It broadly opposes the {{wp|market liberalism}} and "managerial" {{wp|ordoliberalism}} of the Shaftonist-Republicans on one hand and socialism, including [[Kirosocialism]], on the other. Though usually in agreement with the Caritist Social Union in this area, it is also skeptical of the more interventionist and redistributive goals of that caucus' left wing. CoJ legislative initiatives on economic matters tend to prioritise stability and sustainability over growth, {{wp|producerism}} and the {{wp|real economy}} over finance and capital markets, localism over globalism, and small/medium/micro-enterprises over large public corporations. Protecting the {{wp|traditional economy}}, the interests of farmers and foresters, and property rights are major policy goals. Some within the caucus have embraced [[Wittonian socialism|organic socialism]].


With regards to federalism, the CoR seeks a return to the pre-Kirosocialist layer-cake model, with clearer delineation between areas of state responsibility and areas of federal responsibility. They oppose the post-Kirosocialist Federal involvement in areas of competency that were historically reserved to the states, such as education, certain business and labour regulations, and public services that has continued under Shaftonist-Republican rule.
===Federalism and Administration===
The Caucus of Justice seeks a return to pre-Kirosocialist {{wp|layer cake federalism|layer-cake federalism}}, with clearer delineation between areas of state responsibility and areas of federal responsibility, and the return of more policy areas to the exclusive competency of the states. It supports a smaller federal government with fewer domestic powers, as well as a more self-restrained foreign policy.  


The reformist wing of the party belongs mostly to the Interstate Reform Alliance conference, while traditionalists dominate the Southern Green-Right and Organic Social Union conferences. Parties and independents of both persuasions are found in the Kiravian Conservative Union, though it has recently acquired a more traditionalist bent.
===Aboriginal affairs===
The caucus is a strong advocate for greater Aboriginal autonomy and seeks to curtail federal interference in the internal affairs of Aboriginal tribes. It supports establishing reservations for landless and displaced Aboriginal peoples, as well as expanding existing reservations to enable their survival as organic communities and viable traditional economies.
