Judicial System
Australia's first system of courts modelled on the historical English court system was eventually replaced by courts with other names and structures. The court structure in Australia today is a complex mosaic. Courts may be characterised by whether they are State courts or federal courts, whether they are general or specialist courts, and whether they have a general, or limited jurisdiction.
