The statue is of a woman wearing a toga-like dress with one breast revealed and arms raised and measures 12.5 feet (3.8 meters).

Like most of the artwork and fixtures in the building, it is in an Art Deco style.

The male statue, Majesty of Justice, is bare-chested.

American singer-songwriter Tom Paxton wrote a humorous song entitled "John Ashcroft and the Spirit of Justice", inspired by the Attorney General's alleged covering of the statue, in 2002.
