    Situating Women Judges on the High Court of Australia: Not Just Men in Skirts? Kcasey McLoughlin BA (Hons) LLB (Hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, the University of Newcastle January 2016 Statement of Originality This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university or other tertiary institution and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference has been made in the text. I give consent to the final version of my thesis being made available worldwide when deposited in the University's Digital Repository, subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. Kcasey McLoughlin ii Acknowledgments I am most grateful to my principal supervisor, Jim Jose, for his unswerving patience, willingness to share his expertise and for the care and respect he has shown for my ideas. His belief in challenging disciplinary boundaries, and seemingly limitless generosity in mentoring others to do so has sustained me and this thesis. I am honoured to have been in receipt of his friendship, and owe him an enormous debt of gratitude for his unstinting support, assistance and encouragement. I am also grateful to my co-supervisor, Katherine Lindsay, for generously sharing her expertise in Constitutional Law and for fostering my interest in the High Court of Australia and the judges who sit on it. Her enthusiasm, very helpful advice and intellectual guidance were instrumental motivators in completing the thesis. The Faculty of Business and Law at the University of Newcastle has provided a supportive, collaborative and intellectual space to share and debate my research.

  • Judicial Advice to Trustees: Its Origins, Purposes and Nature
    Advance Copy CRITIQUE AND COMMENT JUDICIAL ADVICE TO TRUSTEES: ITS ORIGINS, PURPOSES AND NATURE T HE HON CHIEF JUSTICE SUSAN KIEFEL AC* The rather strange practice of equity courts providing advice to trustees has a long history. To understand how it evolved, it is necessary to trace its origins and the later development of procedures arising out of the general administration action. It is necessary to identify its purposes in order to understand both the breadth of the power to advise and its limits. Equity’s broader supervisory jurisdiction over trusts may be explicable by reference to history. There may be questions whether orders by way of judicial advice involve judicial power or are to be regarded as historical anomalies.

In the years since then this magnifi cent ceremonial courtroom has seen many lectures and presentations from distinguished judges and academics. The tradition continues in 2018 when, for the fi rst time, the Supreme Court Library Queensland has compiled this event guide to 13 free legal lectures presented in the Banco Court. The Selden Society lectures hosted by the library are presented in the guide, as is the Supreme Court Oration—which this year will be delivered by the Honourable Geoffrey Ma GBM, Chief Justice of the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal. The guide also features lectures from the jointly managed Current Legal Issues seminar series, the Australian Academy of Law Queensland lecture, the Australian Institute of Judicial Administration’s annual oration, and the fi rst event of the Justice in Focus series. Across these various lecture series the topics are wide-ranging and engaging, with the speakers being drawn from many different courts and universities. The Supreme Court of Queensland is pleased to welcome these distinguished speakers to the Banco Court. I trust you will enjoy and be informed by these lectures and I encourage you to attend as many as possible.
