Architecture was invited to support and even emphasize the importance of law in society. [...]there are researchers who argue that the design of a space dedicated to justice can be considered an important partner that plays a positive role in how justice can process its own experience. With the introduction of written documents in the unfolding of the acts of justice, the Romans moved the processes inside, using the multifunctional spaces of the great basilicas. [...]the XIXth century, there were only a few buildings dedicated exclusively to the judiciary. In the second half of the XIXth century, the concept of the Palace of Justice crystallized, as a large construction, which aimed to provide a space exclusively for the act of justice, a construction that in addition to an increasing studied functionality, also had the role of symbolically illustrating the principle of order through the judicial system over the subordinate territory. [...]it can be seen that, from a historical perspective, the program of spaces for justice is in a process of continuous development.
