The centrepiece is undoubtedly the full-scale electronic moot court, presenting an ultra-contemporary courtroom setting and equipped with evidence management systems, video conferencing facilities and video streaming that replicates the very latest technology used in the High Court of Australia.

Described by the Honourable Justice Kirby as “the finest moot court in any Australian institution”, this showcase facility will ensure that all Bond Law graduates are fully conversant with the emerging technologies and systems used in today’s most sophisticated courtrooms.

Modelled on input provided by judges, legal practitioners and the Faculty, this 21st century facility is designed to give students simulated real world experience in practicing their legal skills, ensuring that, as graduates, they will be able to walk into any courtroom and feel right at home.
