The courts and all their panapoly and functions have been moved to a wing of the small parliament building. The rate of crime in the principality was so minimal that the judiciary was almost a museum anyway. While the exterior of the building is famous from almost every tourist's holiday album, few have actually ventured inside and the place has remained largely unused apart from a small section that dealt with civic and civil issues in recent years. The interior therefore is very much based on 1950s and 1960s styling with a fair smattering of carved columns and ornate banisters. The main court room makes an excellent open space to be filled with clerks desks for the day to day admin work and there are a number of attorney's private suites that have been easily converted into offices for the senior staff. Julien Sabatier has secured the best of these, though even this is somewhat spartan with bare brick and stone walls contrasting simple minialist modern furniture.<br/><br/>One of the principal reasons the judiciary was used however, is because the basement levels contain the old cells and punishment rooms from when the building was a place of correction in the 1600s and 1700s. These facilities have been converted and updated to form the principal holding and training rooms for the public slaves that will be processed here.<br/><br/>Replumbing the building and especially rewiring it with a 2TB line to link it to other BAF offices, the internal intranet wiring and the necessary satellite uplinks had proven expensive, the building being listed as a significant architechtural monument and constructed of ancient stone. However the work was completed with a minimum of damage to the exterior and has now been functioning a few weeks.<br/><br/>The old 'help desk' style drop-in admin office of the BAF down near the marina at Ste Devote is still in place. More centrally sited for most visitors, it still serves a useful function of keeping most of the public out of the new Chef d'Administration's hair (what little he has left).
