hall of justice
Where trials happen
A hall of justice is a courthouse or government building where legal proceedings take place.
The term sounds grand and formal, evoking classical architecture and civic authority.
It appears in official building names and, through comics and cartoons, as the headquarters of superhero teams: The Justice League assembled at the Hall of Justice.
