NSW Courts & Justice 2026 — The Complete Sydney Guide
Open justice is one of the oldest civic obligations the press carries, and in Sydney that means steady, careful coverage of the Local, District and Supreme Courts of New South Wales, the Federal Court when it sits in Queens Square, and the appellate work that flows up from them. This guide gathers our continuing reporting on the NSW justice system: significant criminal trials, civil judgments that change how the city works, sentencing reform, coronial inquests, policing policy and the operation of NSW Police, ICAC and the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission. We treat every defendant as innocent until proven guilty and link out to the official judgment whenever one is published — we do not republish judgment text or seal-breaching detail. Start with our latest legal and accountability stories below, and use the topics list to follow longer-running matters. For the daily link-out bulletin of every published NSW judgment, see our dedicated courts feed.
