The Federal Magistrates Court: A Successful Experiment

Arthur Moses

Abstract

The establishment of the Federal Magistrates Court has been a good and successful attempt at dealing with shorter and simpler matters in federal jurisdictions. The court now receives 40 per cent of all family law work, and most bankruptcy cases. It now deals with migration cases and has recently been invested with copyright jurisdiction.
