Historic Australian Courthouses

Appreciating old Australian courthouse buildings is an ongoing quest to explore their diversity in form and as places used for the administration of justice.

Click here to view the Courthouse Gallery so far. Short articles on historical aspects of each courthouse, both legal and non-legal are gradually being written and published here.

WillsHub is an Australian law site seeking to draw together legal information, including recent case law, on the law on wills, deceased estates, intestacy, family provision and estate administration - collectively known as succession or inheritance law - from New South Wales and around Australia. Written by Bronwyn Stead, principal lawyer of BHS Legal, admitted to practise in the Supreme Court of New South Wales and in the High Court of Australia, member of the NSW Law Society and The Tax Institute, previously a medical research scientist, see About.
