Best Answer

Lady Justice or Justitia is often depicted blindfolded and holding a pair of scales. Her origins go back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. The scales represent the balance needed to achieve justice and the blindfold indicates that justice should be blind and deal with everyone equally without favour or prejudice.
