If you need to attend Broadmeadow Children’s Court, contact Astor Legal and see how one of our expert criminal & traffic lawyers can help you.
Broadmeadow is a town in Newcastle that was established in the 1880s.
The Courthouse only deals with children’s law. This differs from most other NSW Children’s Courts, such as Parramatta Children’s Court.
Children’s Court matters are governed by the Children (Criminal Proceedings) Act 1987 (NSW). This means that the legal principles applied are unlike adult criminal cases.
This contrast is most easily seen in sentencing proceedings, where the Court places significant emphasis on rehabilitation and alternatives to full-time imprisonment. That is why your lawyer must be accredited by the Law Society as a specialist in children’s criminal law.
The Broadmeadow Children’s Court List sets out the time, date and location of all court matters up to three weeks in the future and one week in the past.
