Justice has been active since the ancient times. The law system is been discovered and developed by humanity as soon as people started organizing in communities.
Within the bounds of a democratic nation in our country the correct attribution of justice is very important. There exist many different court bodies for every criminal offence.
This research investigates the design specifications of the court buildings, in particular the correlation and requirements of spaces within the buildings. An assessment of the relationship between the attribution of justice and the current architecture in use is attempted in order to distinguish suitable spaces within the buildings.
Certain rules must be followed when defining the outline of the court buildings. By law the Architect engineer is engaged in defining suitable spaces including, the main trail room, secondary rooms for the judges where they can proceed on the court decision, appropriate rooms for the witnesses, the, offices for the employees who take the minutes of the trial, further rooms for keeping the files accessible to the citizens and the lawyers as well as rooms for the public that provide security and comfort.
The layout of the court buildings is presented from the inspection of the top views of new and old court building designs, regarding the effectiveness and distribution of space, the allocation of the different operating departments within the building and the method they are linked to each other. The outcome of the inspection is the identification of the importance of the court authority, and the method it has been attributed through time.
