Justice has been rendered in Johnson County, Kansas, for more than 160 years, but the space where it was dispensed had long needed a major update. The opening in 2021 of the new, modern, curvilinear Johnson County Courthouse in Olathe City has satisfied that need. Rising seven stories, housing 28 courtrooms and numerous offices, and embedded with state-of-the-art technology, the building is radically different from the brown-brick courthouse that opened in 1952.
