Lady Justice Returns-Rededication of the Lady Justice Fountain

Lady Justic Returns...Rededication of the Lady Justice Fountain, Sunday, December 7th @ 5:30 p.m. @ the Bexar County Courthouse, 100 Dolorosa Street on the North Lawn.

Honored Guests:
Commissioner's Court
Mayor Phil Hardberger
Herrmann family
Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court Wallace Jefferson
The Legal Community

Reception @@ 5:30 p.m. Symphony to perform after the ceremony. Sculpture by artist Gilbert Barrera.

The Wolff's will host this holiday event that showcases the lighting of the Lady Justice Fountain. Recreated and restored by local sculptor Gilbert Barrera, the Lady Justice Fountain will be installed outdoors on the courthouse lawn. The historic fountain had once graced the courthouse in 1896. Through the years she was removed and fell into disrepair.

When found, the Wolff's lead the effort to restore the 16-foot tall fountain and sculpture. Thanks to the sponsorship of Ronald J. and Karen Herrmann, she now returns to her home and will be dedicated to the legal community. Lady Justice will symbolize fairness and justice, and will bring a stately beauty to our courthouse for generations to come.
