Intrigued by what happens in court? Baffled by who’s who in fancy dress? All will be revealed during this two-part guided visit.

On Part 1 we’ll explore the inferior courts sitting at the historic Brickfield Hill courts precinct. We’ll aim to sit in on trials, sentence proceedings and bail applications in the Local Court and the District Court, depending on what is listed for the day

Afterwards we’ll go for an affordable Korean lunch.

On Part 2 we’ll spend time at Queens Square in the CBD to see how the superior courts operate. We’ll visit the Supreme Court, the Federal Court and also the High Court, which doesn’t sit all that often in Sydney. We may get to attend a murder trial or sentencing proceedings, a civil hearing and some appellate matters, depending on the list.

Afterwards we’ll have lunch at a nearby café.

Each walk also focuses on the heritage architecture and local history of the area.
