Judge for Yourself

Judge for Yourself gives students the opportunity to walk in the judge's shoes and 'sentence' an offender.

These Judge for Yourself workbooks will step you through running an interactive Judge for Yourself session  over two lessons.

Each workbook includes learning exercises that focus on key curriculum areas.

• Magistrates Court—Unauthorised dealing with shop goods (PDF, 1.4 MB)
• District Court—Dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death (PDF, 1.5 MB)
• Supreme Court—Trafficking in a dangerous drug (PDF, 1.3 MB)
• Childrens Court—Assault occasioning bodily harm (PDF, 1.4 MB)

You can also book a free Judge for Yourself session to be held at your school. We can deliver this online or in person if you are within a 2-hour drive of Brisbane City.
