Michigan Hall of Justice

An example of monumental neoclassicism, the Hall of Justice was designed by Spillis Candella DMJM and Albert Kahn Associates, Inc.[1] The building contains a total of 280,000 sq ft (26,000 m2) houses the Michigan Supreme Court, state court administrative offices and a 3,800 sq ft (350 m2) learning center.

One-story colonnades extend from the two curved wings providing a covered area for pedestrians and helping to link the building visually to the Capitol.

When the Michigan State Capitol opened in 1879, it included an elaborately decorated chamber for The Supreme Court on the third floor.

Court members and their staff originally occupied the rooms adjacent to the chamber in the east corridor.

When the Lewis Cass Building opened, many in the Michigan Government recognized the need for expanded facilities to house the Supreme Court.
