Proposal
This proposal aims to introduce a new key courthouse=* with an initial set of values to be used in conjunction with amenity=courthouse for dinstinguishing different types of courts.
Rationale
In OpenStreetMap currently all courts are tagged with amenity=courthouse. However, there's no widespread key or tag (minus name=* for obvious reasons) which would allow a data consumer to differentiate between for example labour courts, social courts or finance courts.
Examples
Amtsgericht Frankfurt am Main
- admin_level=8
- amenity=courthouse
- courthouse=district
- name=Amtsgericht Frankfurt am Main
- and of course standard keys like the addr:-prefix, contact:-prefix, etc.
Landesarbeitsgericht des Saarlandes
- admin_level=4
- amenity=courthouse
- courthouse=employment
- name=Landesarbeitsgericht des Saarlandes
Melaka Syariah Court
- admin_level=4
- amenity=courthouse
- courthouse=religious
- name:en=Melaka Syariah Court
- religion=muslim
- Note: If fitting, one could additionally use denomination=* for religious courts.
Supreme Court of the United States
- admin_level=2
- amenity=courthouse
- courthouse=supreme
- name=Supreme Court of the United States

If there are values you think are missing here or think that a value is redundant, please feel free to to mention that on the discussion page.
Please note that in this proposal the key courthouse=* is not intended to tag which administrative level or level in the course of proceedings a court belongs to. For tagging which administrative level a court belongs to please use admin_level=*.
Recommended tags
- admin_level=*
- religion=muslim and denomination=* for courthouse=religious
Applies to
Everything that's already tagged as amenity=courthouse.
Rendering
Generally speaking, it's sufficient to use the symbol set by amenity=courthouse. If wanted, variations depending on the courthouse=*-key could be added.
