Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center

The Ralph L. Carr Judicial Center

A stop on the Denver audio-guided tour, the Ralph L. Carr Judicial Center is the seat of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals of Colorado. Solemn and imposing, it is nonetheless open to the public.

Justice open to citizens

On weekdays, one can enter freely, cross its hall of glass and granite, and visit the Colorado Judicial Learning Center, an interactive space that reveals the workings of the State's judicial system. Free guided tours are offered to groups by appointment, and it is sometimes possible to attend a public hearing.

What to see

Whether you enter or not, do not miss the small group of white marble statues that seem deep in conversation. Some standing, others seated, they silently invite you to join them. It is a work by Madeline Wiener, created to embody the idea that justice is built together.
