Judge Taylor, the main judge in Tom Robinson's case rules the courthouse. He is decision maker in this case, and therefore the gavel represents him, because number one, the gavel has the power to overrule the jury and silence everyone (and also, he's a judge so this symbol is perfect for him)! He is a strong man who tries to encourage others to make the right decisions, and in the story I think that if he had the ability to choose the verdict he would have chosen that Tom was not guilty.
