Sculptures Inside the Riverside County Courthouse

There are two notable free-standing sculptures inside the Riverside County Courthouse (4100 Main St, Riverside, CA 92501).  The first is entitled, "The Advocate" and depicts a lawyer practicing law at a lectern.  As described on the Courthouse's website, "The statue (left of Dept. 1) is a tribute to the attorney, who, along with the judges and court staff, serves as an integral part of the justice system."  The sculptor is unknown.  The second is a bust of Justice John G. Gabbert who "became a superior court judge in 1949 and served for 21 years before being appointed to the District Court of Appeal in 1970". The sculptor of the bust was Blair Boswell of Highland, Utah.
