Law Courts, Brisbane

The Law Courts building in Brisbane is a large judicial complex that houses several courts under one roof: the Supreme Court, District Court, and Magistrates Court of Queensland. The structure contains separate sections designed to handle different types of legal cases and proceedings.

The building was constructed to bring Queensland's different courts together in one central location, enabling efficient administration of justice across the state. Over time the complex has been expanded and modernized to meet the growing demands of the legal system.

The courts incorporate specialized divisions such as the Murri Court, which considers Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural factors in legal proceedings.

Court proceedings take place on weekdays, with daily schedules published the evening before so you can find information about cases of interest. It is advisable to arrive early to find parking and allow time to navigate the large complex.

The complex uses QCase, an electronic system that allows legal practitioners to file and manage civil cases online, simplifying the process for many involved. This digital platform has transformed how many legal professionals work with documents and procedures.
