In the 59 years since Iits establishment in 1960, the Adelaide Law Review has become the pre-eminent home of legal scholarship in South Australia, and its alumni (consisting of former academic and student editors) have made remarkable contributions to the law not only in Adelaide but around Australia and the world. Every author contributing to this special issue has been involved with the Adelaide Law Review and Adelaide Law School. It is a testament to the impact of the Review, and the wonderful scholars who have been involved with it, that the authors of this volume include current and former judges of the International Court of Justice, High Court of Australia, Federal Court of Australia and Supreme Courts of South Australia and Queensland. As is well known, relationships between academia and the judiciary are not universally friendly.1 One of the important lessons of the con- tributions to this special issue is the ability of the Adelaide Law Review to continue to be of service to practitioners, judges and academics. The Review has been living proof of Lord Wilberforce’s observation that ‘no single strand in the tapestry of the law, however brilliant, can do without the support of others’.2 Indeed, the interac- tion between the scholarship published in the Review and the legal profession and judiciary is an essential aspect of the strength of the Review. The Review is also, of course, a quintessentially academic endeavour, and contributors to this special issue also include distinguished academics from leading law schools around Australia, North America and the United Kingdom. The diversity of authors and topics in this volume reflect the extensive scope of contemporary legal scholarship, and the ability of the Adelaide Law Review to address a great range of important legal matters. The theme for this special issue is ‘The Adelaide Law Review at (Volume) 40: Reflec- tions and Future Directions’. Our intent was to bring together diverse contributions which look back on the previous 39 volumes of the Review and look forward to the * Associate Professor and Associate Dean (Learning and Teaching), Adelaide Law School, University of Adelaide; Editor in Chief, Adelaide Law Review (since 2015); BFin, BEc, HonsLLB, GDLP, PhD (Adel). 1 See, eg, Frank Maher, ‘Ivory Towers and Concrete Castles: A Hundred Years War’ (1986) 15(4) Melbourne University Law Review 637. 2 Lord Wilberforce, ‘The Academics and Lord Denning’ (1985) 5(3) Oxford Journal of Legal Studies 439, 445.

I hope all readers will find intellectual food for thought in the following pages. II A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ADELAIDE LAW REVIEW IN THE WORDS OF ITS EDITORS There is no extant history of the Adelaide Law Review, and this piece does not attempt to offer a comprehensive story of the evolution of the Review.3 Nonetheless, on the occasion of the publication of its 40th volume, it is appropriate to reflect on the path of the Review. I do so here in the words of some of those who have been involved with the Review over its history. The Adelaide Law Review was established in 1960,4 during the Deanship of Norval Morris, as a joint project of Morris and Alex Castles, and with a student editorship. As the Honourable David Bleby QC, one of the early student editors,5 recounts the principal drivers of the publication were Norval Morris and Alex Castles – mainly the latter who was the consistent Faculty Adviser, at least for the first three years. The Editor and Assistant Editors were graduates of the previous year, having done most of the work on the Review during their final year. Other Committee members were spread over all years from second year onwards. I am unaware of the process of selection of the Editorial Board within the Faculty, but I am fairly sure that all were invited to hold their positions by Alex. Major contributors were either persons well-known by Alex, staff members, or practitioners who lectured at the time, I think mostly enlisted by Alex. I think there were few editorial decisions made by the students themselves without Faculty advice or assistance. The principal functions of those of us who were “Committee” members was to write case notes or notes on personal injury awards or legislation, and to prepare a draft index of the previous year’s edition. As Bleby notes, whilst in theory a student-run journal at its establishment, academic guidance was never far away. The Review formally ceased to be student-run and became faculty-run instead from volume 4(2) in 1972, although in practice this has 3 Very brief details can be found in: Alex Castles, Andrew Ligertwood and Peter Kelly (eds), Law on North Terrace 1883–1983 (Faculty of Law, University of Adelaide, 1983) 61; Victor Allen Edgeloe, ‘The Adelaide Law School 1883–1983’ (1983) 9(1) Adelaide Law Review 1, 37.
