On October 28th, we visited the Supreme Court of Victoria. At the beginning of the day, we were given the exciting opportunity to speak with a lovely judge and her associates to ask questions, hear their stories, and gain their valuable advice. We then explored the court library, which holds thousands of books, and learned how the dome at the top was initially used to keep male jurors in some original cases. We also learned about Sir Redmond Barry and how he convicted Ned Kelly to death, ultimately dying 12 days after Ned Kelly. Additionally, we were lucky enough to observe a jury empanelling for a fascinating slavery case.
Consequently, we finished up the excursion at Southern Cross DFO, where we enjoyed lunch. It was a very exciting and insightful experience that we would definitely recommend!
