| Signage: | An accused individual is surrounded by symbols of different judicial and adjudication systems, from both South Africa, where some disputes are still solved according to traditional law, and other contexts. The pillared temple facade and finger print representing Western models of justice are complemented by symbols of African and Oriental legal culture. The forum of five elders looming above is inspired by traditional law in India. |
