Justice and MercyJustice and Mercy

Located in the plaza between the Beeson Law Library and the Robinson Hall, the statue grew out of a phrase Mrs. Lucille Beeson wanted to have placed on the Law Library, "Seek wisdom to temper justice with compassion". The concept is that the Angel of Mercy is seen encouraging the Lady of Justice. She is staying the sword of justice to keep it from being used too swiftly, tempering it with compassion. The sculptor is Glynn Acree from Roswell, Georgia who also created statues for Emory, Georgia Tech, Mercer, and the University of Georgia.
