The judiciary as an institution, and the Chief Justice and Heads of Bench as its leaders, have a unique responsibility to maintain the public's trust and confidence in the courts and the principles underpinning the justice system. The Communications and Engagement Team (which includes our events team) supports the judiciary to fulfil this responsibility by increasing the transparency and accessibility of the work of the courts, and improving public and media's understanding of the constitutional role of the judiciary and the principles that underpin our justice system. The judicial events calendar is an essential strand to this work.
