State-administered matters proceed through the TAS court hierarchy. Federal matters (family law under the Family Law Act 1975, migration under the Migration Act 1958, federal civil matters) proceed through the Federal Circuit and Family Court and Federal Court of Australia registries.

Why state matters for your matter

Most Australian legal practice is state-specific. Each state has its own Bar and Law Society, its own land titles regime, its own criminal code, and its own civil liability legislation. A lawyer practising in TAS is admitted by the TAS Supreme Court and holds a TAS-issued practising certificate.

Federal practice areas (family law, migration, federal corporations and tax disputes) span the country, but the registry and court culture vary by city. The right lawyer for your matter is usually one practising in your state and city.
