What an amazing building and very approachable, it seems one could possible sit in on cases without any restrictions, No steps just ramps you walked up or down to each floor. People very helpful again went on a tour which was very informative

It was a pleasure to view the High Court with no courtrooms in session on the day we visited. The artwork in this place is memorable. I would visit here again in a heartbeat and thank each staff member for their wonderful insight into the building and the court system.

It was a privilege to visit. The architecture and art are beautiful. it is worth going to see the namok paintings alone. It is steeped in history and symbolism so make sure you get one of the knowledgeable guides to bring the symbolism to life, including the physical placement of the building as a check on the legislator and the...

From across the lake the High Court looks like a misplaced battleship. If you go there, however, you will find what amounts to amazing access to the machinery of justice. You can wander in and watch hearings in progress. Check the court lists online and see whether there's anything on, if that takes your fancy...

We visited while there we no hearings in session and the ushers in each of the Court Rooms were happy to chat with us, share interesting stories and information.
