Maricopa County - Southeast Justice Center (SEJC)

The Maricopa County Justice Center combines four facilities scattered across southeast Maricopa County into one facility of 116,000 square feet.

The co-location increases efficiencies and integrates the courts, adult probation, Superior Court, and companion public services. Representing the complete justice process, the move will improve customer service and create a welcoming environment that fosters collegiality with flexibility for growth and change.

Litigants can feel like they are treated with fairness, dignity, and respect, and a calm environment will reduce the stressful experience of going to court. Differentiating Superior and Justice courts is a source of wide public confusion, so joining the courts will reduce that confusion. A single entry clarifies wayfinding, concentrates building security, reduces the secure perimeter, and provides greater site utilization. The completed design creates a new environment for Maricopa County that reflects the dignity of the courts and the practice of justice.
