The Highest Court

Most people know about the Mabo and Wik decisions but few know much about the decision makers - the High Court of Australia. Having gained historic access, The Highest Court shows first hand the characters and drama of the High Court of Australia, the pinnacle of legal and constitutional processes in Australia. The role of the Court is explored as the film follows constitutional, criminal and civil appeals where much is at stake and the decision of the seven Justices is final.
