What to know about Criminal lawyers
Criminal law in Australia is mostly state law. The offence, the court, the procedure and the sentencing rules come from the state or territory where the alleged conduct happened, which is why a criminal lawyer practises in one jurisdiction's courts rather than across the country. Commonwealth offences, such as certain fraud, drug importation and telecommunications offences, are prosecuted separately but still heard in state courts.
