Yes, for judges in how they conduct the trial or determine sentencing within their powers. But, also for juries,and lawyers. Also prosecutors in how they rely and attempt to sway peoples opinions based on their moralities and prejudices. As such, daily their are miscarriages of justice and we boggle at how some cases are decided or sentenced, but over time this swirling chaotic mess of laws does represent societal norms.
However, I do understand the point you're making. Since the legislators and judges are all human, the process of making and applying laws will be inevitably influenced by their sense of morals.
