From the Grand Hall, two stairways with Verdelho marble and golden Morocco marble railings provide public to the Main Courtroom which creates the ascending feeling.
The Main Courtroom, which measures 12 meters by 16, has paneled with black walnut walls between fluted pilasters. There are six tall windows open to the naturally lighted interior courtyards, which also serve as buffers to protect from outside noise.
”The Court, its judges, and staff are dedicated to finding ways to better serve you. We’re leveraging technology and new media to better communicate with you” said Richard Wagner, the Chief Justice of Canada. The courtroom is equipped with simultaneous interpretation equipment. The groundwork for a modern courtroom was laid in 2007 with the installation of new computerized audio-visual equipment and a wheelchair accessible lectern, as well as wireless Internet connections. Display monitors for counsel and the media were added, and laptop computers were embedded in the bench desktop for the judges’ use. The new lectern can be raised and lowered to accommodate the counsel of different heights and those in wheelchairs. In addition, new cameras were installed along with an improved lighting system.
