Visit to the historic courthouse in Lower Stuart Street

During these hours, the old Law Society library, upstairs at the courthouse, where many students studied in the past, will be open for visiting. This has been arranged with the judges and court staff. If interested, please register using the button above, so that the likely numbers can be known and orderly arrangements made.

The courts themselves will be in session. They may be visited discretely, but only by small numbers at a time, to avoid disruption.
