Discover how courtroom design impacts the course of justice with me and Legal Eagle.

Explore the primary courtroom layouts used today in the US: the Center Bench, the Corner Bench, and the intriguing Jeffersonian Revival, each with its unique implications for power dynamics and trial proceedings. Uncover the crucial role of furniture, lighting, and acoustics in creating a conducive environment while preserving security and functionality.
