Why is the symbol of justice a woman? For the longest time she was not allowed to be in the legal profession?



Answer:
Not only was the symbol related to the Roman goddess, but the female image throughout history has always been more benevolent than a male figure.

People want Justice tempered with mercy, and therefore a female image for the symbol of justice.

I don't know. But here's some information about the icon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/lady_justic...
Because justice has always been represented by Iustitia, the Roman Goddess of justice.
Early judges were into big breasts.
