OF ADVOCATES, DRUNKS AND OTHER PLAYERS: PLAIN TALES FROM AUSTRALIA
Main Article Content
Abstract
When I retired from judicial office after 34 years service (13 of them as a Justice of the High Court of Australia), I was richly rewarded for my labours by the practising Bar. Here in England, Inner Temple did me the honour of electing me a Bencher. I was proud to follow Peter Taylor to that office. In Australia, the Australian Bar Association, the Law Council of Australia and the governing body of my home Bar, the New South Wales Bar Association, conferred on me honorary life memberships. I say this not to boast but to illustrate the forgiving qualities of barristers for the assaults that judges inflict on them during service in the courts.
