	The Old Supreme Court Building - Law and History 2: Lawlink NSW (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Courts, which until then had sat in the General Hospital in Macquarie Street, now moved to the Georgian School and it was there on 17th May, 1824, that the first Chief Justice of NSW, Francis Forbes, read the Charter of Justice establishing the Supreme Court of New South Wales.
		A public meeting in the court house in February, 1830, was alarmed at the condition of the roof and it became necessary to brace the roof with additional poles and columns.
		At the opening of the 1896 law year, which coincided with the occupation of the new court, the building was described as "bright and pleasant, quiet and comfortable", probably everything the original court house was not.

	Supreme Court Queensland - Supreme Court History Program
		The old Supreme Court building in Townsville was located on Cleveland Terrace, Melton Hill and led a varied existence throughout its 100 years, serving as the School of Arts, a museum, the courthouse, and home to the Department of Transport.
		Converting the building for use as the Supreme Court prompted community debate, as the price of conversion escalated from £1,000 to £2,703. This was on top of the purchase price of £5,005, which included land, building and transportation of furniture from Bowen.
		However, the old court building was not in good condition and the National Trust of Queensland commissioned an expert inspection report with the intention of determining the feasibility of using the building for the Townsville Music Centre.

		Chief Justice John Bray of the Supreme Court of South Australia was correct to say that "diversity is the protectress of freedom".
		In courts, diversity is also a protector of intellectual rigour, as each judge measures his or her opinions against those colleagues who may approach judging in a slightly different way and sometimes come to different conclusions about the law's requirements and how to express them.

		At a session last week in S.F., Ohlrich, who's been with the court since February 2000, started by advising the lawyers to stand up and say "ready" when their names are called as arguments are about to commence.
		Ohlrich's interest in the court's rich history was sparked by a number of speakers that day and a tradition was born.

		The intended grandeur of each separate building was sacrificed to some extent to build the present court complex, but the cohesiveness of the group of buildings and the strong contrast of their common small-town scale to the present city background makes the complex an important contribution to the Sydney townscape.
		The Banco Court was given some renovation and attention with a view to the conduct of the Milat trial there, presided over by Justice Hunt, and it is still a very viable court for major criminal trials and for other significant cases.
		These old courts are secure, they have cell facilities and they will be able to be used for criminal trials, taking the pressure off the Darlinghurst complex and enabling trials to take place in the centre of the legal district.
