Arrests are easy to roleplay and consequences are hard, because most servers have nowhere to hold a hearing. A city hall is the building that closes the loop: charges get heard, licences get granted, and someone elected has an office to be shouted at in.

The court

A proper courtroom with a bench, a floor and a public gallery. A trial stops being three people in a Discord call and becomes something the server can watch, which is the whole reason legal roleplay works when it works.

The council

A chamber for city council sessions, and the offices that go around one. Servers running an elected mayor, a licensing board or a police oversight body get somewhere for those meetings to happen in character.

The rest of it

More than ten offices, so judges, clerks, chiefs and department heads each get a room rather than sharing one prop desk.

A briefing room for command staff and press, which is where a city announces things to itself.

A classroom, useful for academy training and induction sessions.

A large public hall with the space for ceremonies, press conferences and any event that needs an audience.

Why free

A civic building only pays off if the whole server can build around it, and a paywall on the one interior your legal, political and police factions all need is a tax on the roleplay. It costs nothing, it is a full interior rather than a demo, and it downloads the moment you check out.

Fitting it in

A map resource with no framework dependency, so ESX, QBCore and Qbox install it identically. Bring your own court, licence and job scripts.
