CHAPTER 1 A SHORT HISTORY OF THE LAW SCHOOL The history of the Law School cannot be seen in isolation from that of the two institutions with which it has always been so intimately connected — the University as a whole, and the Victorian legal profession. Here we must be satisfied with a sketch, and must forego a truly comprehensive account, but some suggestions for further reading and reference can be given. Ernest Scott, then Professor of History, wrote A History of the University of Melbourne in 1936. A more recent work is Geoffrey Blainey's A Centenary History of the University of Melbourne (1957). An excellent series of articles on student life over the last four decades appeared in Melbourne University Magazine for Spring 1961. The University of the present day is described in The University of Melbourne: A Centenary Portrait (1957) by Norman H. Olver and Geoffrey Blainey. The history of the Victorian profession has yet to be written. There is much of interest in J. L Forde's The Story of the Bar in Victoria (1934), which covers the period 1839 to 1891, and in the books of P. A. Jacobs: Judges of Yesterday (1924), Famous Australian Trials and Memories of the Law (1943). See too the Law Institute centenary publication The Law Institute of Victoria, 1859-1959. Articles on the subject include W. Anderson 'Early Victorian Legal History' (1928) 2 Law Institute Journal 8, Harrison Moore, 'A Century of Victorian Law ( 1934 16 Journal of Comparative Legislation (3rd Series) 175, and Mr. Justice Sholl 'Administration of Justice in Victoria' (1955 7 Res Judicatae 33. The Law Institute Journal (the Institute being the solicitors' organization) began publication 1927, though there had been earlier periodicals which contained some professional news: The Victorian Law Times and Legal Observer (1856-7), The Australian Jurist (1870-4), Australian Law Times (1879-1928). The activities of law students themselves have not gone unrecorded. F. Maxwell Bradshaw's address on 'The First Fifty Years' of the Law Students' Society of Victoria appears in (1937) 1 Res Judicatae 268, and there is an article on 'The Law Students' Society in the Nineties' in (1928) 2 Law Institute Journal 166. The Law Library holds an incomplete set of the Society's entertaining first journal, The Summons, which appeared from 1891 to 1903. For a few years, some news of the Society's affairs was published in Res Judicatae (1935-57). Many men have contributed to the life and work of the Law School over the years and have made us what we are. A full roll-call with any amount of biographical detail would be a long one — too long for an essay of this kind. But there is always an especial interest in the beginnings of institutions such as ours, and this would seem to justify giving an otherwise disproportionate amount of attention to the early years and the 'founding fathers', to that misty and surprisingly long period of law teaching before the creation in 1873 of the Faculty as such and the appointment of the first Dean. The foundation Statute of the University of Melbourne, which expressly con- templated a law course, received the Royal Assent in January of 1853. In the last days of December, the first four professors arrived from England and took up residence. A little over a month later, in February 1854, the Supreme Court of Victoria made its first Rules for 'colonial. admissions', as they were called, providing for the examination within Victoria and the admission to practice of barristers, attorneys, solicitors, proctors and conveyancers. This happy and largely coincidental conjunction of events made it at least very likely that when law teaching in Victoria began it would be found within the University, and no doubt this was rendered all the more probable by the fact that the University's colourful and energetic first Chancellor Sir Redmond Barry, was also a Judge of the Supreme Court. Furthermore, one of the foundation Professors, William Edward Hearn, appointed to the Chair of Modern History and Literature, Political Economy and Logic, was a barrister himself, an LL.D of Trinity College, Dublin, and well qualified, therefore, to supervise, at least informally, the foundation of a law school. So it came about, then, that law subjects were first offered within this University in 1857, two years after the institution had opened its doors to students. The course was of two years duration, and seems clearly to have been designed to assist those who sought 'colonial admission'.
