Some Things to Know:

The Judge’s Chamber is located on the 2nd Floor of the old downtown Post Office building. Upon entering the building, you’ll take the elevator or stairs (located on the Cortez St. side of the building) to the second floor and continue straight all the way to the end of the wide hallway. The Judge’s Chamber is through the last door on the left. There will be signage to help direct.
