of the Main Courtroom

The Main Courtroom, reserved for the use of the Supreme Court, occupies the centre of the building on the first floor.

Public access to the courtroom is by a flight of stairs on either side leading up from the Entrance Hall.

The courtroom, measuring 12 by 16 metres, has black walnut walls between fluted pilasters. Six windows, each seven metres in height, open to interior, naturally lighted courtyards, remote from outside noises. The courtroom is equipped with simultaneous interpretation equipment and a video-conference system which may be used by litigants to argue their cases from remote locations. Automatic cameras, sound activated, are used to record hearings.
