Exploring the symbolism of law's authority, the first essay traces the evolution of the metaphor of the "Eye of the Law" from ancient Greece to contemporary society, highlighting figures like the impartial judge and the omniscient Eye of God. The second essay examines the legitimizing phrases used by courts throughout history, emphasizing how authority is derived from higher powers, such as divine or state entities. Together, these essays reveal the persistent belief in law's supremacy, even as faith in its infallibility wanes.
