Jesting Pilate: And Other Papers and Addresses by The Rt Hon Sir Owen Dixon by S

Description: Jesting Pilate by Susan Crennan, William Gummow Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Although it is now ninety years since he was first appointed to the High Court and fifty five years since he retired as Chief Justice, Sir Owen Dixon remains the towering figure in Australian jurisprudence. He is widely viewed as our greatest and most influential judge. While Dixons judgments continue to be cited by courts and debated by scholars, his extra-judicial writings have been more difficult to obtain and having accordingly received less attention. The publication of this new expanded edition of Jesting Pilate will help redress the balance, bringing as it does less studied aspects of Dixons expansive and worldly intellect to the fore again.\n\nIn addition to reorganising the original papers, the Editors have enlarged the collection significantly by including two previously unpublished addresses by Sir Owen Dixon, as well as two papers by Dixons former associate and friend James Merralls AM QC which provide important context about Dixons life and work. Additionally insight into Dixons legacy is provided by the inclusion of important papers by each of the editors. Finally, the speech delivered by Sir Ninian Stephen on the 100th anniversary of Dixons birth is included, as is a new Foreword by the Hon Susan Kiefel, Chief Justice of Australia.\n\nAs the Editors note in their Introduction:\nThe materials collected in Jesting Pilate, prepared for disparate occasions, demonstrate aspects of Dixons personality which might otherwise remain elusive: the warmth of his friendships, his love of an allusive joke and his perspicacity about world affairs and the personalities shaping them. … It is our hope that this third edition of Jesting Pilate confirms Dixons past and continuing contribution to developments in Australian law and reaffirms his stature as a great man.\nFrom the Book Launch Jesting Pilate, address by The Hon Murray Gleeson AC at the Banco Court, Supreme Court of New South Wales, 31 July 2019...\n\n"The Honourable Susan Crennan and the Honourable William Gummow, and The Federation Press, have done an important service to legal history and scholarship by the production of this Third Edition of extra-curial writings and speeches by Sir Owen Dixon, a towering figure of the twentieth century with a reputation of pre-eminence, not only in Australia, but throughout the common law world.\nThe Third Edition differs from the earlier editions in two important respects. First, the papers and addresses are re-arranged and helpfully classified in a manner that makes them more accessible. Second, as an introductory section, there are commentaries on Sir Owen Dixon and his work by Sir Ninian Stephen, James Merralls, SEK Hulme and the two Editors themselves. This introductory material is not only valuable in itself, but will also be very useful for modern lawyers who may not be as familiar with Dixons place in the legal landscape as people of my generation…" Click here to read the full launch speech\n\nFrom the Book Launch Jesting Pilate, address by Professor Michael Crommelin AO at the Supreme Court of Victoria Library, 24 July 2019...\n\n"It is a very great honour to be invited to launch this third edition of Jesting Pilate in Melbourne ...
