East Wing Supreme Court & Governor's Conference Room by Bitter Law -- The central and main figure of the group is Liberty, holding a torch in her right hand to enlighten Justice, and a shield in her left protecting Truth. Both Justice and Truth are seated, the former holding the scales and the latter a mirror, symbols of justice and truth. To the right of Justice are two figures, the older resting his right hand on the table of stone of the decalogue, and the younger shielding the table. On the left are also two figures, Anglo-Saxon in type, carrying and caring for the Magna Charta. To the extreme right of the observer is a group engaged in reading the laws or statutes of the country, and to the left a family group in which the mother is shown as inculcating the principles of right living, upon the children. The former group is concerned with the written law, the latter with the traditions that have given character to the race. Liberty is placed in the center in a commanding position, indicating the importance of the east wing of the Capitol in that it contains the Executive Department, as well as the department of the highest State Court.
