In this beautifully illustrated volume, James Macnutt, Q.C. has succeeded in compelling us to look at courthouses in a different way. Courthouses are not only one of the most significant buildings in the cities, towns or villages in which they are located, they are also an excellent interpretation of the way justice is administered in each Maritime province. Building for Justice is a celebration of a monumental architecture that, along with the buildings of church and state, forms one of the cornerstones of our society.
