Apparently, the two-story Great Hall features Art Deco light fixtures and a terra-cotta tile floor with gray marble borders, and the Law Library, located on the fifth floor, is a two-story room distinguished by a pair of tall Art Deco lights and a 20-panel mural by Maurice Sterne. Fifty-seven sculptural elements designed by C. Paul Jennewein adorn the building, including the impressive carved pediments on the Constitution Avenue facade. Sixty-eight murals, completed between 1935 and 1941, depict scenes of daily life throughout American history, and symbolic interpretations or allegorical themes relating to the role of justice in our society.
