History

It was named after former Chief Judge H. Carl Moultrie I. Judge Moultrie was appointed an associate judge in 1972 and chief judge on June 22, 1978. He remained chief judge until he died on April 9, 1986.[5][6][7]

In August 1978, heavy rain resulted in a roof leak because the roof drains could not handle the volume of rainwater.[8]
