a BRIEF HISTORY OF LAW IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA
When Captain James Stirling and his settlers arrived in Western Australia in June 1829, one of their first activities in establishing the colony was to set up a judicial system. They did this under the authority of the British Secretary of State for the Colonies. The first court hearing in Western Australia was held in July 1830. Eight justices of the peace were engaged to address all justice matters from administration to handing down punishments for crime. Australia had not developed its own laws at this time, so British law was used.

In 1837, eight years after the European settlers first arrived, Western Australia's first Supreme Court was opened in what is now known as Stirling Gardens. It cost £698 to build and is the highest court under Western Australian law, along with the district and local courts.
