Symbolism:
On each floor's landing, bronze door frames are decorated with neoclassical motifs, including leaves, urns, and anthemia (floral decorations). In addition, four law related themes repeat: a lamp representing knowledge, a book inscribed with "LEX" (Latin for law), and owl symbolizing wisdom, and the Scales of Justice symbolizing impartiality. The bronze railings for the stairs are adorned with a classical wave pattern, rosettes, and oval medallions featuring an eagle, a symbol of the United States. |
