U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor is in Denver today to dedicate the new seat of judicial power in Colorado. The Ralph L. Carr Judicial Center is downtown, catty-corner from the state Capitol.
The $258 million complex—it’s really two buildings—is home to the Colorado Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals, and the Attorney General’s office.
Denver architect Curt Fentress, best-known for the main terminal at DIA, designed the neoclassical structure, but he had some help from Chief Justice Michael Bender, who gave Ryan Warner a tour of the new courthouse.
