A resident of Mount Olympus, Themis personified the order established by custom, ethics and law. In her role as justice she both convened assemblies of the gods and attended the gatherings of mortals. Wearing a blindfold to ward off the corruptive influences of appearance, she holds the scales of balance in one hand, and the sword of justice in the other.
A member of the United States Supreme Court, Ruth interprets the constitutional legality of law in America. Her own individual experience of discrimination deepened her commitment to justice, civil rights and gender equity. She is respected for her balanced decisions based on study of the law and a strong personal commitment to justice for everyone. |
