This is the common room in the back of the courthouse, to the right and
left are the seating areas for the public to come in and watch the
proceedings.  To the north is the front of the courtroom and a large
elevated desk sits there above the rest of the area.  Off to the north is
also a podium where the defendent and prosecution reside in a court battle.
