Justice without a blindfold appears in one of the Courtroom friezes sculpted by Adolph Weinman. This frieze is located at the top of the west wall, at the back of the Courtroom. In this work, a robed Justice (left) is the focus of the allegorical story of the battle of Good Versus Evil. Her unencumbered gaze is set determinedly in the direction of the forces of Evil, to the viewer’s right. Her posture is defiant, as if ready to do battle to protect the forces of Good with her great sword. The sword remains sheathed, but her hand rests atop the hilt, ready to act should the need arise.
