Aim 
 
The aim of the court report is to get you out of the classroom and into the courtroom 
to see how the law works in practice! We would like you to visit a court to observe 
proceedings for a couple of hours and then write a report on your visit.  
 
Planning your court visit 
 
It is important to have an understanding of the court system before you embark on 
your visit. Therefore, please complete the required reading for Week 1 and 2 before 
visiting a court. 
 
Your best chance of seeing a court case from beginning to end will be in the Local 
Court or District Court. Please be aware that there is no certainty that the magistrate 
or judge will reach a decision while you are in court and we do not expect you to stay 
until a decision is reached. A couple of hours observing proceedings should be 
sufficient to gain enough understanding of the matter to write your Report.  
 
If you find yourself in the middle of a lengthy trial, you may find it more interesting to 
visit another court. Also, if you find yourself in a list court where matters are quickly 
mentioned, it may be more useful to move to another court as you may not gather 
sufficient information to complete the required Report.  
 
Although you may wish to visit court with other students, you must submit your own 
written work.
