Italian term or phrase: basilica giuridica
I have the following regarding a "basilica" (quotes are mine because we are not dealing with a church but rather a building from the 1st century BC. I'm open to all ideas. It was the place where the magistrates sat in judgement so giuridica might indicate its function. Any ideas?

In particolare, per quanto riguarda il settore meridionale del foro, nel settembre del 2005 è stato rinvenuto il limite sud-occidentale della basilica giuridica, e ad est di questa un altro edificio di notevole monumentalità, identificato in via ipotetica come tempio o curia. La basilica risale all’incirca alla metà del I secolo a.C. e presenta una pianta rettangolare di m. 14 x 23, è aperta sul lato verso il foro con una sala centrale definita da un portico di ordine ionico, formato da nove colonne sui lati lunghi e 4 sui lati corti.
