Info
The Alabama Judicial Building, formally known as the Heflin-Torbert Judicial Building, is a state government building in Montgomery, Alabama. It houses several state judicial agencies, most notably the Alabama Supreme Court, Alabama Court of Civil Appeals, and Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals. It is the first state court building in the United States to house all three courts under one roof. Additionally, it houses the State Law Library.The neoclassical-style structure was completed in 1994 at a cost of approximately $35 million.
In 2001, Roy Moore, who was Chief Justice at the time, placed a Ten Commandments monument on public display in the rotunda of the building. This placement of a religious monument in a government judicial building caused a nationwide controversy.
