Combining traditions and modern architectural elements, creating court management functions – all these developments to court buildings are presented in the fresh special edition of the journal published by the National Office for the Judiciary (NOJ) in collaboration with Octogon.

Courts presently use a number of 186 properties across the country, on 485,000 square meters in total. The NOJ as a careful owner ensures the management and continuous development of these buildings funded by the Ferenc Jablonszky Program and Gyula Wagner Plan, which received their names after renowned architects, designers of Hungarian court buildings. The architect’s journal presents outstanding renovations and architectural designs, including the Regional Court of Eger handed over in spring 2018, the Debrecen Regional Court of Appeal, which has been awarded the Architectural Nivo Prize, the Appellate Prosecutor’s Office and the Debrecen District Court.
