Court Etiquette in Australia
Going to court can be daunting. Having an idea of what to expect will ensure that you are prepared and know how to behave appropriately.
Courts are formal places and certain rules of etiquette apply to anyone who enters as is the case in any other formal setting such as workplaces and educational facilities.
You are expected to be respectful and you must behave appropriately at all times. You may be asked by the magistrate or judge to leave the court if you dress or behave inappropriately. If your behavior disrupts proceedings, you could also be fined or sent to jail.
When going to court, make sure you are punctual and arrive before the scheduled time. You can find the correct courtroom by reading the notice boards and television screens at the courthouse or by asking someone at the registry counter. These are usually located in the court’s foyer.

Ronald Ryan trial re-enactment - Supreme Court of Victoria
Launch of the Law Library of Victoria
A landmark agreement signed on 23 August 2012 will pave the way for the establishment of a modern 24-hour law library for all Victorian judges, VCAT members and legal practitioners.
In a historic collaboration, the heads of all jurisdictions and of the Victorian Bar and the Law Institute have agreed to work together towards the establishment in 2013 of a new Law Library of Victoria ('LLV'). The Victorian government, through the Attorney-General, has strongly encouraged the proposal.
The new Library will consolidate, and enhance, existing library resources and improve access to legal information for judicial officers and practitioners throughout Victoria.
With the installation of innovative technology platforms, the Library will extend the range and reach of service to users, particularly to those in regional Victoria.
Legislation will be enacted to create the new Library as an independent statutory authority, overseen by a board of directors representing all participants.
At present, the courts and the profession operate six separate libraries, with varying levels of service and significant duplication. The LLV aims to amalgamate the existing libraries and provide a highly sophisticated gateway to digital content.
The proposal for the LLV was the result of a Library Review initiated by the Supreme Court in 2011, which involved the participation of all jurisdictions and the legal professional bodies (the Bar, the LIV and the Australian Corporate Lawyers Association) to identify a vision for library services beyond 2016.
The Review was informed by a comprehensive stakeholder engagement strategy (more than 100 individuals and organisations were consulted), surveys of users which attracted almost 600 responses and the input of subject matter experts including the State Librarian and the Bodleian Law Librarian at the University of Oxford.
The surveys confirmed that the needs and demands of library users have changed over time, particularly regarding access to 'at desk' electronic resources, training and research services.
In 1853 Sir Redmond Barry's vision established the Supreme Court Library to ensure the legal profession had a world-class legal service, recognising that such a resource was essential to the administration of justice in Victoria.
In 2012 that legacy is extended into the digital age in order to meet the needs of more than 17,000 legal and judicial members.
The LLV will be implemented in three stages, with stage one focussing on the amalgamation of the libraries of the Courts and VCAT. It will be jointly funded by the Courts, State Government and legal profession through consolidation of existing library budgets and efficiencies and savings achieved from the reforms.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Marilyn Warren said this important, court-led initiative would fundamentally reshape the delivery of legal information services in this State.
It provides an historic opportunity to prepare all Victorian judges and lawyers for the future of legal resource delivery, and to make the Law Library of Victoria a national leader in its field. For these reasons, it has gained the support of all Victorian jurisdictions and the profession, she said.
The Chief Judge of the County Court, Michael Rozenes, said he welcomed this historic initiative and congratulated his partners in the agreement for their vision, collaboration and cooperation.
This new, modern Law Library for Victoria will streamline and improve access to legal information throughout Victoria, he said.
Chief Magistrate Ian Gray said he welcomed the fact that the LLV would provide judges, magistrates and lawyers -- the whole legal community across Victoria, with a genuinely modern legal library and information service.
Significantly, today's signing coincides with the 125th anniversary of the unveiling of the Sir Redmond Barry statue that still stands outside the State Library (unveiled on 23 August 1887).

Law Week 2014 Moot
As part of Law Week 2014, the Student Engagement Committee of the Victorian Bar, together with the County Court of Victoria, presented a mock trial (or “moot”) to approximately 130 members of the public. The moot was DPP v Telfani (courtesy of the National Advocacy Institute) which forms part of the curriculum of the Victorian Bar Readers’ Course. The moot was expertly presented by both Queen’s Counsel and junior Counsel, and the moot was heard by Judge Gaynor of the County Court. The jury for the moot was empanelled from the gallery by way of a random selection of those who attended.
The Victorian Bar organised for the moot to be professionally filmed so that members of the public who were not able to attend could gain a valuable look into a working courtroom and observe the main components of a trial in action. These are, in order of first to last: opening addresses, examination in chief, cross examination, addresses (or directions) from the judge, final submissions and verdict.
Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in Victoria's courts and tribunals?
Thousands of Victorians went behind the scenes at Victoria's courts and tribunals on Courts Open Day, Saturday 17 May 2014. The Supreme, County and Magistrates' Courts all threw open their doors, with the Coroners' Court holding a special exhibition on the collapse of the West Gate Bridge and VCAT providing tips on how to prepare for a hearing (both, in the William Cooper Justice Centre).
Held in May each year, Courts Open Day is part of the annual Law Week Festival, which gives people an opportunity to learn about Victoria's justice system.
