Parameters

This infobox takes a number of parameters:

court
The name of the court that the case was heard in. [[Wikilink]] the name to a Wikipedia article about the court, if there is one.
image (optional)
An image to represent the court, such as a coat of arms. Type the name of the image without the "Image:" prefix and do not wikilink it.
imagesize (optional)
The width of the image in pixels, if it is less than 220px. Type the number without the "px" suffix ("150", not "150px"). If this parameter is omitted, the image size defaults to 220px.
caption
A caption for the image. Terms in the caption can be wikilinked, if desired.

transcripts (optional)
External links to transcripts of the case, where available.
judges
List the judges sitting on the case, in order of their precedence if known. The Chief Justice or President of the court, if he or she is hearing the case, should appear first. The order that the judges' names should appear in is usually shown in reports of the case.
prior_actions (optional)
Mention any prior trials or appeals, if the case is an appeal decision. You may also want to mention related cases in a sequence, e.g., Mabo (No. 1) and Mabo (No. 2). Provide external links to legal citations if possible.
