The Lady Justice Bronze Sculpture by Gilbert E Barrera. This is an original composition for a lady justice figure worldwide since she was popular 800 BC to 100 BC. She is the only naturally exhibited Lady Justice in a public square in the United States and perhaps further. She was dedicated December 2008. She is on main plaza at the Bexar County Courthouse, downtown San Antonio, Texas. The sculptor Barrera was born a half mile away at Santa Rosa Hospital, and baptized one block away at San Fernando Cathedral, oldest Cathedral in the US Barrera's father Roy Barrera Sr. and brothers and cousins are lawyers at the courthouse. The sculptors name is credited a floor plaque at the foot of the sculpture and its fountain base of 1896.
