Use the free searchable court list app or website

It is often a good idea to check what is listed at the Court on the day you are considering visiting, as well as the location for this listing.

This is particularly true if you are interested in observing a specific type of case, for example, you are only interested in watching a criminal trial consistent with the topic or subject you are currently studying. It is important to confirm the listing location of specific cases as the Court's criminal cases can be heard in different locations, such as King Street Court Complex (about 100 metres from the Law Courts Building), or Darlinghurst Courthouse (just outside Sydney's CBD), and some civil cases are heard in Hospital Road Court Complex.

When you click on a case in the search results, an online map highlighting the courthouse's location is revealed that you can use to obtain directions from your current location.
