Quebec Court of Appeal - Édifice Ernest-Cormier
The Ernest Cormier Building is a heritage structure situated in the Old Montreal district of Montreal. Constructed between 1922 and 1925, it was designed by architects Ernest Cormier and Louis-Auguste Amos and served as the third courthouse in the city.
Since 2005, the building has housed the Quebec Court of Appeal, and the 'Société québécoise des infrastructures' also operates from this location. Historically, the building was used for criminal cases from 1925 until the 1970s. It then accommodated the Conservatoire de musique et d'art dramatique du Québec in Montreal from 1975 to 2001. Following restoration work from 2002 to 2005, it was repurposed to house the Quebec Court of Appeal.
On November 13, 2014, the Ernest Cormier Building was officially designated as a heritage building by the Ministry of Culture and Communications. Architecturally, it features classical simplicity, highlighted by an imposing colonnade. An inscription in Roman letters on the architrave reads: 'FRVSTRA LEGIS AUXILIVM QVAERIT QVI IN LEGEM COMMITTIT,' which translates to 'He who breaks the law seeks its help in vain'.
