The court sat at the Courthouse at Ancon Hill from 1914 to 1982, ordered as Governor Residence but completed in 1908 as Administration Building.[1] Today only the shell of the building remains, as the roof and upper floors were demolished with all the remaining floors gutted.
Appeals were taken to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.[2]
