Symbolic judicial space is a historical and legal phenomenon. The spatial approach to social phenomena offers a phenomenological and communicative understanding of space as an object-subject interaction. The author described the origin and use of such terms as judicial space and space of justice in scientific circulation to compile a new definition of judicial space and its symbolization. Judicial space is multidimensional in its structure, which can be subdivided into physical, social, and mental judicial subspaces. Judicial activity has a high degree of symbolism and rituality, which can be supported by a number of historical and legal examples. The symbolization of judicial space is a historical and legal process that determines the course of historical memory. In this aspect, it is a subject of historical and legal science, e.g., legal source studies, legal iconography, legal semiotics, and narrative jurisprudence.
