About this space

Law has a scroll in her hand and a fold of her robe is drawn over her head to signify the solemnity of her mission. Beside her sits the stone tablet of the law.

Law, sculptor:
Paul Wayland Bartlett (1865–1925)

Above the figure of Law:
Of law there can be no less acknowledged
Than that her voice is the harmony of the world.
—Richard Hooker (1554–1600)
