Legal Iconography
Legal iconography refers to the visual symbols and imagery associated with the law and justice. Common symbols include the Scales of Justice, representing balance and fairness, and the Blindfolded Lady Justice, symbolizing impartiality. These images help convey complex legal concepts in a more accessible way.
In addition to symbols, legal iconography can also include architectural elements, such as courthouses and statues of historical legal figures like Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. These representations serve to reinforce the authority of the law and its foundational principles within society.
