The courthouse is a reward building in SimCity 3000 and SimCity 4. It provide several jobs, although not a significant number. As the name suggests, the courthouse is where criminal Sims go to face trial before being sent off into the correctional system. As with other reward buildings, the player can unlock it through U-Drive It missions in Rush Hour, or by simply meeting the requirements to unlock the building. The courthouse sits on a 3x3 ploppable lot, which can be placed accordingly by the player.
