4th JDC-Ouachita Parish Courthouse

It gets a 3 cause seriously how can anybody be a fan of a courthouse… That being said this is a really nice courthouse especially since they renovated it back in the early 2000’s…4 floors with at least 6 courtrooms, possibly 8…4/16/13 was my first time back in it since probably 2003 or ’04…still a nice facility for the dispensing of decisions on the law… I would say Justice but if you’re looking for Justice in a courtroom then you’re in the wrong place…
I always liked the renovations because they were able to keep the old wood, marble and timeless feel while bringing it into the 21^st Century technology wise… some of these new courthouses have such a modern, almost sterile, quality to them and they don’t really carry that imposing gravitas that I feel a courthouse should carry…
When you walk in this place you get that heavy feeling settling on you that this is a place for the dispensing of judgment and let’s one know serious matters are considered and handled here… which I think is an appropriate feeling for a courthouse…
