The Supreme Court of New South Wales is a living institution, and a vital organ in our functioning democracy. It also has a rich history which itself provides a unique lens into the history of the colony and, subsequently, the State, of New South Wales.
In partnership with Journeywalks we invite you to discover 200 years of the Supreme Court starting at the contemporary Banco Court and ending in the heritage King Street Courts. Learn about famous criminal trials, colonial law, and historic traditions rooted in the Supreme Court.
If you are visiting the Court with a large group of more than 20 people, we cannot guarantee that you will all be able to fit within the same courtroom. Due to the complexity and significance of many Supreme Court hearings, the public gallery can fill quickly if there are many parties involved, many family members in attendance, or media representatives reporting on the day's events. Therefore, prepare yourself for the possibility that you will need to split your group across multiple courtrooms.
