"Lady Justice" or "Lord Justice" is also the title of judges on the
Court of Appeal of England and Wales. Lady Justice (Iustitia, the Roman Goddess of
Justice and sometimes, simply "Justice") is an allegorical personification of the moral force that underlies the legal system. Since the Renaissance, Justitia has frequently been depicted as a bare-breasted woman carrying a
sword and
scales, and sometimes wearing a
blindfold. Her modern
iconography, which frequently adorns
courthouses and
courtrooms, conflates the attributes of several goddesses who embodied Right Rule for Greeks and Romans, blending Roman blindfolded
Fortuna with Hellenistic Greek
Tyche.
