Lady of 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. 

This stands for equality in the dispensation of Justice or prejudice.

The scales the Lady of Justice holds symbolise fair and unbiased justice and law enforcement and the sword symbolise the power of those who make these decisions.
