A courtroom divider, often referred to as a barrier door, separates different areas of the courtroom, such as the judge’s bench, the witness stand, and the public seating. The purpose of this door is beyond access control but also symbolizes boundaries and the formality of the judicial process.
Typically made of wood to match the courtroom’s aesthetic, the barrier door features a swinging mechanism that allows it to open in both directions for easy access. It is a half-height door, extending only up to waist level, which allows for visibility while maintaining a clear boundary.
