Subject: Official Information request - Court open day

Dear Andrew Little,

I noted,

https://www.justice.govt.nz/about/news-a...

Do you have any other open day event at any of the court for the past two years? If so, where are they and when did it happen.

Self-guided tours
For visitors wanting to do a self-guided tour there is a brochure available in the foyer of the Supreme Court. Visitors can view a video on the design of the building and a video about the court system. The courtroom can be viewed through the observation window.

Can public visit the courthouse, court room for a self-guided tours elsewhere, or only the Supreme Court allow it?

Yours faithfully,

john luke
