Space was at such a premium in Bedford County Courthouse on Tuesday that General Sessions Court had to hold a civil court session in the corridor of the courthouse basement, leading one attorney to joke about "the halls of justice." County officials are discussing a number of possibilities for alleviating the situation in the long term, such as building a new jail and justice center or adapting a existing building to house courtrooms and judicial offices.
