Magistrates Court

Within Melbourne's law sector there are three courts,  the county ,supreme and magistrates court. The magistrates deals with the lowest of the laws problems and as such it is available to the public, be it for studying law students or family.  When inside there are multiple floors which have various court rooms that allow you to enter, pay your respects to the judge and take a seat. 



It is a fascinating look at the law and its many methods of justice, as well as a look at getting a perspective of a lawyers,judge's and policeman's job in the field.
