The ground floor consists of main entrance and offices of public service, and the first floor will be allocated for halls of hearing rooms and judges. The second floor will also be for halls of hearing rooms and advisers. The administration offices and chamber of lectures will be  on the third floor, while the area for future expansion will be on the fourth floor, with a total area of 189,944 square feet.
