🔍 Rethinking Justice: Is Lady Justice Truly Blind?⚖️ In the symbolic world of law, the Lady Justice statue stands as an emblem of impartiality, often depicted with a blindfold and a sword. The recent discussions highlight how the traditional image of Lady Justice, with her blindfold, implies a form of objectivity that may overlook the complexities of real-life situations. In our rapidly evolving society, can we afford to ignore the nuances of fairness and equity? 👉 Here’s what we need to consider: Seeing Beyond the Blindfold: Justice must be adaptive and aware, acknowledging the diverse perspectives that shape human experiences. Revising the Sword: Rather than wielding a sword to impose penalties, we should focus on restorative justice, seeking to heal and reconcile rather than punish. As we navigate through legal frameworks and societal expectations, let’s reflect on how we can redefine justice to be more inclusive, empathetic, and insightful. 🔗 What are your thoughts on the representation of Lady Justice in today’s context? How can we adapt our legal symbols to better reflect the realities of justice in our communities? #JusticeRedefined #LadyJustice #LawAndSociety #Impartiality #EquityInJustice #RestorativeJustice #LegalReform #JusticeForAll #Inclusion #EmpathyInLaw #ModernJustice #SakshiAgarwal

Brazenness is not outspokenness and arrogance is not fearlessness. Use of intemperate language is not assertion of right nor is a threat an argument. Humility is not servility and courtesy and politeness are not lack of dignity. Self-restraint and respectful attitude towards the court, presentation of correct facts and law with a balanced mind and without overstatement, suppression, distortion or embellishment are requisites of good advocacy. A lawyer has to be a gentleman first. His most valuable asset is the respect and goodwill he enjoys among his colleagues and in the court. Justice P.B. Sawant.
