Features

The Features page collects short posts published throughout the week on a wide variety of topics that are related to the High Court’s operation. While Opinion Posts focus specifically on explaining and analysing particular judgments, Features Posts will cover current topics like:

  • General posts on broader High Court issues, such as a string of related cases, or the development or changes in the Court’s approach to a particular issue.
  • Notes on interesting lower court cases that might be appealed to the High Court, or interesting special leave decisions
  • Updates on recent legal scholarship covering High Court issues.
  • Reports on special events at the High Court and the Melbourne Law School, like speeches and conferences.
  • Posts on other Australian and foreign law blogs.
  • Notes on important decisions of other foreign superior courts.
  • Historical materials and anniversaries related to High Court decisions and judges.
