Australia gathers the Justices of the High Court of Australia, the country's highest court since its 1903 founding under the Commonwealth Constitution. The High Court has decided the foundational cases of Australian federalism and constitutional interpretation, from the Engineers' Case reshaping Commonwealth-state power through the Mabo decision recognizing native title, and its bench spans the court's inaugural justices to its current sitting members.
