Fons justitiae

The Latin phrase “Fons justitiae” means “fountain of justice” in English. It is commonly used to represent the idea of justice as an impartial and fundamental source of moral and legal authority. This phrase is usually associated with images of Lady Justice, who is depicted as a blindfolded woman holding scales and a sword, symbolizing fairness, balance, and the unbiased application of the law. The phrase emphasizes that justice ought to be dispensed without any partiality and should flow like a pure and constant stream from this “fountain of justice.”
