The High Court has a rhythmic arcade created by a parasol like roof, which shades the entire building. This grand entrance with it's awesome scale, is intended to manifest the Majesty of the Law to all who enter.

Juxtaposed between the main courtroom of the Chief Justice and eight smaller courts, is a great entrance hall. It's scale, especially the height, is experienced most intensely while walking up the ramp. The massive concrete pylons representing again the 'Majesty of Law' are painted in bright primary colours and visually punctuate the otherwise rhythmic facade of the High Court. The rear side of this ceremonial entrance for the judges is a working entrance and a large car park at a sunken level.  

Each courtroom was provided with an independent entrance from the piazza and the gracefully curving overarching profile of the brise-soleil screen was intended to provide the symbolic protection. However, a continuous verandah running in front of them was constructed as a later addition for protection from rain.
