Lady Justice

The time-honoured symbol of justice in the West is the Lady of Justice (adapted from Greek and Roman mythology) depicted as a blind-folded woman with a scale in one hand and a sword in the other.


The Roman goddess of justice is known as Lady of Justice. She is frequently seen as a woman carrying a sword and scales, and wearing a blind-fold. Lady of Justice is mostly seen at courthouses and courtrooms to symbolise reason and justice.

This stands for equality in the dispensation of justice without favour or prejudice.
