The ancient Greeks had a goddess of justice, Themis. The Romans called this goddess Justitia. This is also where the word "justice" comes from. In courthouses, you often see a statue of Lady Justice or a painting.
Justitia is therefore the goddess of justice. She is always depicted with scales and a sword, sometimes also with a blindfold. These objects symbolize judicial duties. The scales represent balance. A judge must carefully weigh the arguments of both parties. The sword is the symbol of decision-making power; the judge must make the final decision. He must deliver a verdict. There are differing opinions about the blindfold. Sometimes Lady Justice is blindfolded, sometimes she is not, and there are also depictions of Lady Justice where she is blindfolded in only one eye. A completely blindfolded Lady represents impartiality, judging without regard to persons. However, there are also good arguments for Lady Justice not being blindfolded. When determining a sentence, for example, the judge must also consider the defendant's personality. For this reason, Lady Justice should not be blindfolded.
Justice is the symbol of the judiciary. Every public prosecutor and every judge must be impartial, be able to weigh the case carefully, and be able to demand or impose a just sentence.
