They got the job done through and ensured everyone was safe going into the building. I was very disappointed that the drink machine was out of order when they had advertised online that you could purchase refreshments in the waiting area. Towards the end of the day, I did find out that you can leave the waiting area to purchase drinks and snacks from vending machines on another floor. They really should have posted a sign indicating this information on their broken vending machines. Although I did not get picked to be on a jury, I enjoyed sitting in a comfortable chair and reading my book for 8 hours. Hopefully I don't have to go back soon.

This is clearly not the original courthouse for Gaston County. This one was built in the 1990s and…read moreis a modern concrete and glass structure on landscaped grounds not far from downtown Gastonia. The building houses the County Superior Court and County District Court of the 27th Judicial District. There is a massive parking lot with the nearest parking reserved for various county officials and law enforcement. I was able to find a spot not too far away considering the building was secured for the day. Easy to walk the grounds and see the power of this massive structure. When Gaston County was formed, the county seat was in Dallas and the first courthouse was built there in 1848. It burned in 1874 and was replaced with the second courthouse in 1876, which is still standing and today functions as the Dallas City Hall. The county seat was moved to Gastonia in 1911 and a third county courthouse was built. It's still standing at the corner of North Gaston and West Trade.

There are few ethical judges and lawyers in here. My ex Robert Vaughan jr can do perjury and…read morenothing happens. He is above the law. My experience is that the judges allowed perjury, fabrication, and forgery. There is no justice and only few are good and do their job like they should. They are so shady now they won't allow phones or laptops in and this happened during my case because they know they are doing unethical and doing injustice. They are oppressing innocent people and children. They don't want any of this leaking out. My ex was doing child endangerment and still did nothing. They allowed kidnapping and rape also. There is no justice. It is very sad how it's not about evidence anymore it's about bias judges. Not all are biased I can't say it for all but, the ones I dealt with were. They called me out saying cop is offensive and anytime they try to make a comedy out of me when you think judges will be civil and mature not in my case. Wade Carpenter a lawyer is unethical he harassed me and my children and interrogated us and he won't follow a court order either. I suggest leaving this state and getting far away or find a national lawyer because you won't get a fair trial. 20% chance you might get a neutral judge who actually isn't biased and not a sellout.

Buncombe County was formed in 1791 and named for Edward Buncombe, a Revolutionary War officer…read more Nestled in the mountains of western North Carolina, the county quickly became a cultural and political center, with Asheville as its seat and growing rapidly in the 1800s thanks to railroads, tourism, and the region's reputation for restorative mountain air. The Buncombe County Courthouse, completed in 1928, stands as a towering example of Beaux-Arts architecture with subtle Art Deco touches. Designed by Douglas Ellington (who is also responsible for the neighboring Asheville City Hall), the courthouse rises seventeen stories, making it the tallest county courthouse in North Carolina. Its limestone façade, classical ornamentation, and richly appointed interior ‐ with marble floors, coffered ceilings, and bronze fixtures ‐ reflect the civic optimism of Asheville's boom years, just before the Great Depression slowed further development. Beside the courthouse stands a three-tiered empty plinth. From 1905 until its removal in 2021, it held a monument to Confederate soldiers, taken down following a vote by county commissioners. The vacant pedestal now serves as a quiet marker of the region's evolving public memory. Asheville is a city of smart parking meters and parking decks. You won't find free parking here.

Was there for jury duty for a 1st degree murder case. Never have I ever seen anything more idiotic then this place. The worst judges! Judge Thornburg a real piece of work. The stupidest prosecutors. I felt sorry for the defendant actually. I was called onto the jury but excused after answering questions truthfully. So many of us were excused. They kept the most uneducated and ignorant people who they believed would convict in a heartbeat. If choosing the jury is like a circus then what must the TRIAL be like. The defendants atty hardly had a chance to ask any questions. The prosecutor was on stage and what a performance it was. It's a sad commentary! Thank God I'll never have to serve again. They tell you "it's the most important thing you can do" LOL! It's the least important thing you can do here in Asheville. I'm from Brooklyn NY and no one here would survive up North. Nothing but redneck hillbillies and that's the truth. By the way the prosecutor had a "NAPOLEON COMPLEX". Very short with red hair. A real jerk. Nothing he said made one bit of sense yet he mumbled on and on about COMMON SENSE which he had none. What a joke! Now I can go back to doing really important things like saving animals and this pitiful world we now live in. Little does this so called court realize that there is a higher court judging them.

Cabarrus County Courthouse definitely needs an update--and thank goodness, plans for a new…read morecourthouse have already been developed. The issue is really with space. There are six courtrooms, only two with a decent amount of space. On certain days, like traffic administration court, there are over 1000 people on the docket for one court room. And that does not include the entourage most people bring along...their kids, their significant others, their brother-in-law's cousin who took a criminal justice class through Phoenix University and just looooves Law & Order SVU. People overflow into the lobby and adjacent hallways, loitering around and being noisy. The Assistant District Attorneys have developed a great system, and they do their best to maintain order in the face of chaos, but it is no easy task. Additionally, courthouse security, provided by the Cabarrus County Sheriff's Office, only has one metal detector. So there is one line, through which everyone except card-carrying employees must travel, and they require that people take off their belts, jackets, and sometimes their shoes. As you can imagine, when you have hundreds of people coming to court at the same time, you can have people lined up all the way through the front doors. The deputies do a nice job of moving people through efficiently while still being thorough and keeping everyone safe. Hopefully, you will have no need to come to the courthouse, but if you do, don't come on a Friday--just a tip.
