2026 Law Days Out are now fully booked. 

Schools are able to join the waitlist in case of cancellations via this link. 

The booking calendar for 2027 will open mid term 3, 2026. We will keep teachers informed of the calendar opening via our members email list and our social media channels on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. 

We charge a fee for the LDO to partially cover the cost of our facilitators and the administration costs associated with running the program. Fees were the same price in 2024 and 2025, however, due to rising staff and running costs, we will be increasing fees for 2026 experiences. 

The 2026 fees (inclusive of GST) will be:

• Small Groups (for 1-15 students) $220

• Medium Groups (16-30 students) $330

• Large Groups (31-45 students) $550

For low SES schools or those with very small groups, the fees may be reduced by application to the Education Manager.

You will be sent an invoice at the end of the term before your excursion. Payments can be made via Credit Card or Direct transfer. Payments are due 45 days prior to your Law Day Out experience.

Our Law Days Out start at 9.00am.

The early start is required by the court staff to ensure that there is sufficient time for students to pass through security and be on time to meet with the judicial speaker.

If  the start time for Law Days Out  is too early for your school, we suggest you book a Court Visit that is free and self-guided.

Schools in the Sydney metropolitan area are able to seek permission to observe proceedings at a NSW Local Court closer to their school by making direct contact with the court Registrar of the relevant complex. The list of courts and associated contact details can be found at  https://localcourt.nsw.gov.au/cl-2.html

The NSW Supreme Court is available to schools for facilitated and unfacilitated visits. Bookings are not required for an unfacilitated visit, and as it is self-guided, there is no fee associated. Journey Walks also offer a facilitated visit of the Supreme Court and and can be booked through the Supreme Court Website at https://supremecourt.nsw.gov.au/about-us/visits.html.

The Downing Centre is available to groups for self-guided visits without prior arrangement. Please note when planning your court experience that this complex is very busy so courts can be difficult to access for observations, and there are many matters involving serious sexual assault and children before the District Court. The court environment is unsuitable for students below year 11. 

The courts have requested that schools outside the Sydney Metropolian area wishing to book a court experience should contact their nearest large court complex that houses both District and Local Courts, such as Campbelltown, Penrith, Wollongong or Newcastle. Contact details for these complexes can be found at https://localcourt.nsw.gov.au/cl-2.html

If you need to contact us directly you can email courtvisits@ruleoflaw.org.au and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
