Talk:Judiciary of Australia

jurisdiction

i think it is drawing a long bow to say that state supreme courts have unlimited jurisdiction, there are matters that they can't hear, which must be heard in the federal courts, or high court. thats what i thought. (though often they get to hear cases outside their jurisdiction because of cross vesting legislation). any thoughts? ronanbrother3@hotmail.com —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 211.28.68.216 (talk • contribs) .

I think the distinction that is intended is between a court like the Federal Court, with a jurisdiction entirely defined by statute, and the Supreme Courts which have general jurisdiction, arising out of any matter. I've reworded that part to make it a little clearer. --bainer (talk) 10:34, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

merging

Should this article be merged with Australian court hierarchy? I only pose the query. BenedictX 10:43, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

In it's present form, yes. It should be an article about the judiciary in Australia but instead is an article about Australian courts. Either merge or re-write to correctly deal with subject matter of its title. Shadow007 (talk) 12:38, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Citation of Australian legal articles

The article contains the following reference - Justice James Allsop. "An Introduction to the Jurisdiction of the Federal Court of Australia". [2007] Federal Judicial Scholarship 15., reflecting year, journal and article number, a reference that is consistent with both the citation in the linked article, Law Cite & Australian usage - see for example "Australian Guide to Legal Citation" (PDF). Melbourne Law School. pp. 81–8. The article has twice been edited in a way that incorrectly cites the journal and refers to the article number as a volume. The user's edit summary acknowledged that the edit did not reflect how legal journals are cited in Australia however appears to adopt the view that the template dictates the method of citation rather than the other way round. I have changed the reference from using the template:cite journal to using the template:cite web with the correct citation listed under the parameter "work=[2007] Federal Judicial Scholarship 15" in an attempt to avoid edit warring. -- Find bruce (talk) 05:43, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

I have re-added my information on February 2021, because some Leftist crazy individual keeps deleating my work. From a gay conservative! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.195.157.8 (talk) 01:59, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
