The High Court is presided by justices appointed by the State Peace and Development Council. The building was completed in 1911 by architect James Ransome. The High Court is noted for its British colonial architecture, including its clock tower and its red-bricked exterior. The building faces the Independence Monument and the Mahabandoola Garden.
