The article introduces the results of the research concerning the patterns of appearance as well

buildings in the ancient times is traced. As a result their special architectural characters are
discovered. Besides the origin and development of court places in England in the 11th – 19th
centuries is analyzed. The examples of the first court buildings in colonial America are given
and their further development during the first decades after the independence was declared are
studied. Taking the American court buildings of the mid-20th and the beginning of 21th century
as an example the basic principles of development of public places are identified. Also the
communications schemes are studied and classified. The development of courtroom place in
accordance with the evolution of a place for public is analyzed as well as the development of
courtrooms under the influence of changes in judicial procedures. Finally the modern standard
requirements of courtroom organization made for newly constructed buildings are given.
