Few members of the public were in the courthouse at the time, as most trials have been postponed due to a lawyers' strike.
A scan revealed an explosive device, which army bomb experts defused.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Similar attacks have been carried out in recent years by small far-left militant groups targeting symbols of authority.
