Lady Justice

 What is the significance of the;

Blindfold


Lady Justice is often portrayed wearing a blindfold. This is done in order to specify that justice is (or should be) measured out without prejudice, fear or favor; regardless of the identity, power, or weakness of the individuals brought before the bar. Due to the fact that blindfolds were commonly worn by the blind, some assume Lady Justice herself is blind. This belief is likely what led to the phrase, "Justice is blind".
Scales
Justice is most often seen with a set of weighing scales typically suspended from her left hand, upon which she measures the strengths of a case's support and opposition. It means to weigh all the evidence before making a decision.
Sword
The sword signifies the power that is held by those making the decision.
