The meaning of the symbolism depends on the context.

Under certain circumstances, the unbalanced scale is said to represent weighing the merits of one side against the other, with the understanding that a fair judgment will give credence to one set of facts over another.

Sometimes, unbalanced scales are used as political commentary to indicate an opinion that a particular ruling or law unfairly favors one side over another, or to suggest one argument is significantly stronger than another.

Traditionally, the scales are shown in balance, particularly when held by Lady Justice (or Justitia, from the Roman goddess). This symbolizes giving fair and objective consideration to all evidence, without showing bias one way or the other.
