About the High Court of Australia
The High Court of Australia sits at the top of the Australian legal system as its apex court. Its original and appellate jurisdiction covers matters set out in the Constitution of Australia and in supporting legislation. The court was set up after the Judiciary Act 1903 was passed, and chapter III of the Constitution is the source of its authority. Canberra has been its home since 1980, after a purpose-built High Court building was constructed in the Parliamentary Triangle, overlooking Lake Burley Griffin. Earlier, its sittings moved between state capitals, mainly Melbourne and Sydney.
Seven justices sit on the court, one of whom is the chief justice. The governor-general appoints them on the attorney-general's formal advice, after the prime minister and Cabinet approve. Appointments last until mandatory retirement at age 70, unless a justice retires sooner. Under section 73 of the Constitution, appeals can come to the court from state and territory supreme courts and from any court using federal jurisdiction, and a party needs special leave before an appeal can be heard.

- A fine grid on the roof
- The flat roof is covered in a fine grid of small panels. Print friendly adapts that detail to the print scale; Full detail keeps every panel, best on a larger print with 0.12–0.16 mm layers.
- Thin bars on the entrance hall
- The tall entrance hall is lined with many thin vertical bars. A larger print size keeps them from blurring together.
- One piece with the ground
- The High Court of Australia is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
