337	46	II.B.2. Justification Defense Fails	Justification is an affirmative defense only to tortious interference with contract, not to trade secret theft, conversion, or conspiracy. Even where available, if acts are 'tortious in themselves,' justification never arises. Kassab cannot be 'justified' in stealing trade secrets to pursue claims on behalf of clients who did not exist at the time of the tortious conduct.
