This is a very modern courthouse on North Blvd. in downtown Baton Rouge not far from the Mississippi River. 11 stories tall with some great views.
The courtrooms start on the 3rd floor I believe and go all the way to the 10th floor. Each floor has 4 courtrooms and they are spacious and well appointed. Modern but still have have that austere solemnity that a courtroom should have. Parking is a b*tch and I recommend parking in the parking garage at City Plaza which is like a block and a half from the courthouse because getting in and out is easy-breezy and it is pretty cheap cost wise.
Most people do not want to find themselves at a courthouse because that usually means something good is not happening but if, like me, your job takes you here I think you'll be impressed with this place especially if you take my parking tip. read more
