When approaching this steel structure with a roofline accented with stunning sails – the tallest is 167 feet – I assumed it was a civic center or a sports stadium. I would have never guessed it houses 36 court and hearing rooms. The Court of First Instance consists of civil, correctional and juvenile courts. Located on Bolivarplaats towards the edge of Antwerp, the Law Courts was built for the Justice Department in 2006.
