Supreme Court

The supreme court works, by first getting a choice in which court case they want to work with,

because they get a lot sent to them, but they get a choice in which one they want to hear. Every

case is optional to them unless it has something to do with the state, and government. After they

hear the case, the nine justices take a vote on what to do with the case, after all the votes are in,

the senior justice writes down the majority opinions that the other justices wrote. The building is

very spacious which dominates the proceedings. There are public spaces for tourist showing the

symbolism of the law like the scale, artwork of people who served before, private rooms, the

building is made out of bright marble which represents that the court is a different branch of

government, it kind of looks like Jefferson and Lincoln memorial. At the temple of justice there’s

blindfolded justice holding a scale of justice shows that the building has something to do with the

law. 2 flagpole bases symbols of law and knowledge indicating that the building has a purpose.

and on the side there is a justice holding a blindfolded justice, and on the opposite side there’s a

justice holding a book with the Latin word Lex on it which means law. All the artworks outside of

the building represent justice. My favorite pieces of artwork in the supreme court building, was

the flag pole bases, I like the flag pole bases because I think it’s cool how they put a bunch of

little characters on such a skinny flagpole, but the characters on there all represent the law. The

contemplation of justice statue is interesting because I find it weird that she’s holding a tiny blind

folded justice, why couldn’t they just put a blindfolded justice up there? and the authority of law

statue because it’s very simple, and I like how it has the Greek word lex on his book which

means law, and the giant pillars make the court look old like it was made in the Greek times, so

seeing the word lex makes it look old like it’s from from Greece. But why couldn’t it be written in

english why does it have to be written in old Greek what is this symbolism?
