While upgrades continue to the exterior of the Warren County Courthouse, many projects have been completed inside, including the reorganization of the law library and the modernization of the third floor courtroom, shares Warren County State’s Attorney Tom Siegel:

“Denise Schreck our Circuit Clerk has gotten the law library put together so that the public has a public access area so they can do legal research, print things out that are relevant to their case, and really overall increase access to justice. The renovations to the third floor courtroom, of course Denise did a lot of the work on that too in securing grants and coordinating with the company that installed the system. It allows the judge to control with a touch screen access to the displays, in other words, council can display things. There are now hookups at both council tables and there is also a screen on an adjustable arm by the witness box and there is an input there.”

The courtroom also contains specialized cameras and screens to allow for remote access.
