Advanced Drug Development Center

The Advanced Drug Development Center, (, Sentan Sōyaku Kaihatsu Sentā), often shortened to ADDC (, Sōyaku Sentā), is a medical facility featured in Judgment. It is situated outside of Kamurocho.
== History ==
The ADDC is a part of The Medical Institute, an institution within the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. It was formed in 2002 by Kaoru Ichinose, a politician who later became the Vice Minister of Health. 
The complex sits atop a desirable plot of land sought after by Shigeru Kajihira, who employs the help of then vice-director of the ADDC, Toru Hashiki to close the center and allow the use of the land for redevelopment.
This all changed in 2017. After the public announcement that research into Alzheimers Disease treatment had led to the development of AD-9 , a potential cure, the government gave the ADDC a blank check to continue their work. As a result, Kajihira's plot to see the ADDC shut down was put on hold. Hashiki, who suspected that the AD-9 research was fraudulent and merely served as a convenient excuse to keep the ADDC in operation, was found badly beaten in a Kamurocho alley in mid-2018 and died three weeks later.
== Judgment ==
Koichi Waku, a long-term Alzheimer's patient on the ADDC's general ward, had died in 2015. The janitor Shinpei Okubo is suspected of killing him, but he protests his innocence, and Takayuki Yagami, his defence lawyer, believes him. He comes to the ADDC to investigate the murder, shown around by nurse Emi Terasawa. Despite his own mentor Masamichi Shintani believing Okubo's guilt and saying as much during their investigation, Yagami manages to find the evidence that would lead to Okubo's acquittal.
== Staff ==
===Ryusuke Kido===
Director of the ADDC, and public face of the AD-9 project. Kido is well regarded in the scientific community even prior to revealing AD-9 and its goals to the public. He enjoys fame and is secretly lecherous.
===Yoji Shono===
Researcher at the ADDC, and founder of the AD-9 project. Shono was not known prior to AD-9's discovery, and works tirelessly to perfect the drug, staying at the ADDC for most of the week. He is the head of the AD-9 research team.
===Hashimoto===
Researcher at the ADDC. Hashimoto allows Takayuki Yagami and Issei Hoshino to meet Shono when they are unable to enter the research ward during their first visit. Later, she describes Shono's work ethic to Yagami during his second visit, allowing him to learn of how to meet Shono without an appointment.
