A first-hand run-through of a bail hearing at the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria (MCV) with Magistrate Donna Bakos.
Is court as dramatic in real life as it is on television? Who are the people involved and what do they do to see justice served? ‘You be the judge’ is a mock bail hearing presented by a magistrate. 

Please note the following:
- Allow 20 mins to go through court security before the event.
- To ensure a smooth entry through security do not bring sharp items / glass bottles / tools / lighters / torches / lasers to court.
- Once inside the courtroom please observe court etiquette: do not take photos / have your mobile phone switched on / use electronic devices / eat, drink or chew gum / wear a hat or sunglasses.
