The weighing scales is not the symbol for justice.

The weighing scales is the symbol for the process by which the Blind-folded Angel of Justice reaches an impartial decision.

Because no issue is clear-cut nor black and white, all the known factors and considerations and circumstances of the issue have to be weighed against each other in order to reach a comprehensive and an encompassing consideration of all the facts, variables and influences, in order to reach the fairest judgment that is humanly possible.

The weighing scale symbolizes justice as it represents the fair and impartial weighing of evidence and arguments before a decision is made. It signifies the idea of balance, equality, and objectivity in the legal system. The scales imply that justice should be dispensed without bias, considering all factors equally.
