The Verdict

She has stood for the same idea for centuries. Fairness that doesn't look away, weighed without fear or favour. The Verdict renders Lady Justice in gold and silver, blindfolded, scales lifted, sword ready, one foot resting on the book of law. It carries every bit of the symbolism intact: impartiality, judgment, the weight of doing right. Detailed enough to read as a serious piece rather than an ornament, imposing enough to command the desk or shelf it stands on. Set her where decisions get made. A chamber, an office, a study, a desk that carries responsibility. For the one who works in the balance of things.
