Judge for Yourself - Supreme Court

“Taking us through a case study was eye opening. Judges have a tough job." - Previous Judge for Youself participant.

Enter our courtroom. Decide the sentence. Judge for Yourself.

Put yourself in the shoes of a Supreme Court Judge with the Queensland Sentencing Advisory Council at the Supreme Court Library Queensland.

Join us for an interactive session, featuring Council member and criminal defence barrister Scott Lynch. Together, we’ll explore a real case from the Supreme Court of Queensland, diving into what happened, the surrounding circumstances, and the factors a Judge must consider when determining an appropriate sentence.

Then it’s over to you – what sentence would you hand down?

This session is open to all, regardless of your experience with the justice system.
