Programming Note
Each suite can also require a courtroom deputy

clerk work area must be excluded from the total
net square footage of the chambers suite.
This note applies to both the USDC and USBC.
Adjacency and Circulation
Each judge's chambers suite is accessible only through restricted circulation. The suite is
located to be conveniently accessible to the judge's courtroom and its ancillary areas.
See Table 5.2 and the SRAC diagrams at the beginning of this chapter and in Chapter 4
for additional detail regarding circulation.
