Designing for the Law: Rethinking Courthouse Architecture
Courthouse architecture is defined by civic and monumental designs.

As prominent landmarks in a city, courthouses reflect the beliefs, priorities, and aspirations of a people. They are also a meeting ground, cultural hub, and social gathering place.
