  • “Judges' Sons Make the Final Sacrifice”: the Story of the Australian Judicial Community in the First World
    “Judges’ Sons Make the Final Sacrifice”: The Story of the Australian Judicial Community in the First World War Tony Cunneen* This article focuses on the experiences of judges’ families, particularly their sons, in battle in the First World War. It is both a memorial to the sacrifice made by the Australian judicial community in the First World War as well as a contribution to the limited historiography concerning the social history of Australian judges.This article continues research into the activities of the wider Australian legal profession in the First World War. INTRODUCTION In proportion to numbers, no trade or profession in Australia has suffered more bereavement in the war than have the judges in the higher tribunals.1 There is great scope for the extension of judicial biography into the role of Australian judges in the First World War.2 Well respected accounts of that conflict, such as Ernest Scott’s, Australia During the War,3 Connor, Stanley and Yule’s, The War at Home,4 or Michael McKernan’s, The Australian People and The Great War,5 make minimal mention of judges, particularly at the State level. The many accounts of industrial relations during the war tend to focus on judges’ roles in exacerbating class based matters,6 with minimal representation of judges’ social dynamics and their personal commitment to the conflict. In reality, Australian judges during the war ceased whatever reticence they may have had to be involved in public life and adopted prominent roles which extended far beyond the usual range of judicial activity.7 They became national figures whose speeches and activities were reported across the country.

  • Colonel H. FINN
    Colonel H. FINN [1852 – 1924] Colonel Finn was President of the Club in 1900 1 Henry “Harry” Francis Finn was born on 6 December 1852 at Tenterden, Kent, England. He was the son of Samuel Finn [1811-1882] a tailor born and died in Kent; and his wife Elizabeth Frances Austen (née Hilder) [1807-1891] also born and died in Kent. They had married in 1835 in Rye, Sussex and Harry was the youngest of their 10 children (all born and most died in Kent): 1 Colonel Finn’s term of office as President is explained by the following. Under the Club’s original 1892 “Rules” or “Constitution”, the Presidency of the Club alternated “as of right” between the senior Army and Naval Commanders in the Colony (and later the State) of Queensland. A separate elected position of “Chairman of Committee” also existed who, as implied by its name, actively managed the Club through its volunteer Committee Members – including Honorary Secretary and Treasurer. In 1910 the Rules were amended to reflect a governance model, which has essentially existed ever since, where the elected President chaired the Club Committee.

  • To View a Century Downtown: Sydney University Law School's First
    CENTURY DOWN TOWN Sydney University Law School’s First Hundred Years Edited by John and Judy Mackinolty Sydney University Law School ® 1991 by the Sydney University Law School This book is copyright. Apart from any fair dealing for the purposes of study, research, criticism, review, or as otherwise permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced by any process without written permission. Inquiries should be made to the publisher. Typeset, printed & bound by Southwood Press Pty Limited 80-92 Chapel Street, Marrickville, NSW For the publisher Sydney University Law School Phillip Street, Sydney ISBN 0 909777 22 5 Preface 1990 marks the Centenary of the Law School. Technically the Centenary of the Faculty of Law occurred in 1957, 100 years after the Faculty was formally established by the new University. In that sense, Sydney joins Melbourne as the two oldest law faculties in Australia. But, even less than the law itself, a law school is not just words on paper; it is people relating to each other, students and their teachers. Effectively the Faculty began its teaching existence in 1890. In that year the first full time Professor, Pitt Cobbett was appointed. Thus, and appropriately, the Law School celebrated its centenary in 1990, 33 years after the Faculty might have done. In addition to a formal structure, a law school needs a substantial one, stone, bricks and mortar in better architectural days, but if pressed to it, pre-stressed concrete. In its first century, as these chapters recount, the School was rather peripatetic — as if on circuit around Phillip Street.

  • Gaining Public Confidence in the Judiciary: Sir William Portus Cullen
    Gaining public confidence in the judiciary: Sir William Portus Cullen, Chief Justice of New South Wales, 1910-1925 Tony Cunneen* Sir William Portus Cullen was Chief Justice of New South Wales between 1910 and 1925. He was the first Australian born Chief Justice wholly educated in Australia. His career covered academic, political and legal realms. He was involved in the establishment of the Sydney University Law School. He campaigned for the Federation of Australia. He supported the admission of women as lawyers. His extended term as Acting Governor of New South Wales coincided with one of the worst periods experienced by Australians in the First World War. The sense of public duty he inherited from his family was fostered by his educational experiences, producing a lawyer of the highest calibre, with a powerful social conscience, actively involved in shaping the character of the modern Australian legal profession. INTRODUCTION There is steady interest in judicial biography in general,1 and judicial activism in particular.2 However, there is less attention given to the interplay between the legal profession and the wider community. The career of Sir William Portus Cullen gives a fascinating insight into how a Chief Justice with a powerful social conscience and sense of public duty could put his mark on both the legal community and the wider body politic of his generation. He epitomised the way in which a talented young man in New South Wales colonial society could benefit from the developing forms of patronage and educational opportunities to attain high office then in his turn contribute to that society through a protracted involvement in public life.3 Professor Bruce Kercher has suggested five phases in the development of Australia’s legal system.4 One recent critical step was taken with the Australia Acts in 1986 which saw the emergence of the national system of Law independent of its English roots.
