LAW COURTS

I was wondering what other cities are doing with law courts? Any body have examples of law courts, that are also good civic spaces? Please hit the comment button and let us all know.

In particular I am trying to find pictures of the law courts in Port Coquitlam, BC. Having visited this building, I can honestly say it is well done. If I get any pictures or plans I will post them.

In my wondering around I came upon the following examples. The first one, from Missisipi is similar to the square footage of the law courts that the Province of Nova Scotia is wanting to build somewhere in the HRM.
