This 38 ft mural pictures Lady Justice's statue in pieces with legal giants like attorney Clarence Darrow and former US Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall - alongside Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Hamilton, and Louis Dembitz Brandeis. This one caused a lot of controversy and was considered very inappropriate for such an upscale neighborhood by its residents. However, the commissioner Paul Rosen, on behalf of his law firms charity, did not give up. After a year of protests and arguments the mural was installed.
