Justice
Supreme Court title
Justice appears as a title before the name of a judge on a high court: Justice Sotomayor wrote the opinion.
Personified, Justice is the blindfolded figure holding scales and sword, representing impartial law.
As a given name, Justice has gained popularity since the late twentieth century. (Lowercase justice is the concept of fairness.)
