Summary
DescriptionSeal of the United States Department of Justice (alternate).svg |
Seal of the United States Department of Justice. The coloration does not quite match the version seen on the Department's home page, but does appear elsewhere on the website. The origins of the seal are unknown; it was first used in the 19th century as the seal for the Office of the Attorney General (prior to the formation of the Department of Justice) but the exact date is unknown. Even the translation of the Latin motto is murky, a matter of debate between Latin scholars. The Department's currently accepted translation is who prosecutes on behalf of Lady Justice, referring to the Attorney General. The current-day seal dates from 1934, when some (though not all) of the heraldic mistakes on the original were corrected. More information here. |
