    22nd Circuit Courts - Obviously from my courthouse wedding, not jury duty

    22nd Circuit Courts

    The Civil Courts Building in St. Louis, completed in 1930, is a striking example of Art Deco…read morearchitecture inspired by one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World--the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. It replaced the Old Courthouse as the city's main judicial center and remains a defining feature of the downtown skyline. Designed by the architectural firm Klipstein & Rathmann, the Civil Courts Building rises 386 feet across 13 floors. Its most distinctive feature is the stepped pyramid roof. The roof is made of cast aluminum and topped with two 12-foot sphinx-like sculptures bearing the fleur-de-lis of St. Louis on their chests. Out front, you'll find 32 Ionic columns, each carved from Indiana limestone and standing about 42 feet high. They give the place a solid, classical feel. Inside, the building houses courtrooms and a law library, and it has served as the home of the 22nd Judicial Circuit Court of Missouri. Its placement directly behind the Old Courthouse and in line with the Gateway Arch makes it a central visual anchor in downtown. It's basically a civic temple built from limestone and big ideas, where justice climbs thirteen stories into the sky. A monument to St. Louis's love of order and beauty, it's topped with aluminum sphinxes that quietly keep watch over the city below. The building is not open on the weekends but the grounds are open. There are a number of monuments worth checking out including the Freedom Suits and Police Memorials. [Review 1174 of 2025 - 440 in Missouri - 24727 overall]

    Casual downtown courthouse…read more Health Hazard: The environment inside has trouble adapting to the environment outside for regulating temperature. If you have a sensitivity for mold or mildew, be sure to come prepared. If you're here for jury duty, be sure to be squeezed in with 200 people in the morning so you can get separated to go to several cases divided up so they can get jurors or pre-filtered jurors. Friendliness: They are overall friendly staff but can be a bit dramatic and there's always 1 that makes a scene. Obviously no one wants to be there. Entertainment: Feel free to bring a book or work laptop so you won't bend your neck like a dinosaur obsessing over your phone for hours. Parking: There is supposedly reimbursement for an area for jurors for parking. Call ahead and get guidance. Again the staff are very friendly and they are quick to answer. They will also have patience to listen. They are human. Don't make everyone's day worst if you're having a bad day.

    22nd Circuit Courts - I'm glad that despite the venue, they still made it an intimate experience.

    If you have herniated discs, they will deny your health and make sure you suffer in pain waiting…read more They do not care for your health. They have the pleasure of making people suffer, especially the supervisor. Just a heads up if you have a back injury and are still healing from it, they do not have ice packs or anything for you.

    I am here every 24 - 30 months so I figure, it was time to finally write a review. Seriously, I do…read morenot know how lucky I can get being called for Jury Duty every two to two and a half years on a regular basis. I do believe, I have definitely served my civic duty. The ambiance of the waiting area is not plush, but you don't need to worry about the decor, you will not be there long. The most important thing to remember about Jury Duty, is to listen. The staff moves things along, very quickly and if they have to repeat themselves, that is when they get gruff. Otherwise, it is rather painless. I brought magazines and both of my iPads, in preparation of a long wait. My start day was Wednesday, not the typical Monday so the selection pool wasn't as large. My number was called in the second group, so no time to play on iPad or read any magazine articles, because once you are in the courtroom all those items are taboo. Once the Voir dire (jury selection) starts, that is when the real entertainment begins. My jury pool was 48 city residents and each and every one of them had some type of story. Some had more then one story, to share with the judge and lawyer. The selection process took close to a full 7 hours. During that time we did get a lunch break, of just over an hour. However, it made for a long day 8 AM - 5:30 PM. I've served on one criminal, two civil (one as foreman) and one grand jury. I guess I had too much experience, because this time I was not selected to serve.
