Judge William Sleva points out how the 3,100 sq. feet space will look like
The plans for the 3,100 square foot courtroom were presented to the Lawrence County Commissioners by Judge William Sleva. One of the concerns brought up by the commissioners was that the cost estimate was not included in the proposal.
CHNS cases and juvenile cases are heard in this small courtroom. A CHNS case will have approximately 12 people in this courtroom. The proceedings are distrputed several times due to noise outside in the hallways.
