Thank you to Bronwyn Smithies who typed the manuscript with considerable finesse and patience from her home in Sheffield, Tasmania.

Thank you also to my editors Matthew Maguire and Lara Finnegan, young lawyers of such promise who made excellent suggestions, and who pulled me up when I wrote something inappropriate or which did not make sense.

For their encouragement and teaching I am grateful to my highly influential but sadly departed friends, Michael Hodgman QC, Professor Daniel Simons, Keith Beresford, GH Bryan and Governor Peter Underwood.

Thank you also to Fiona Donnelly, Judge Mark Drummond, Robert Jehan, David Kavanagh QC, Dr Torsten Loercher, Ciaran Moynagh, Guy Pendell, Tracey Petter, Lorraine Richardson, Leigh Sealy SC, Carol Sowers, Nigel Savage, Judge Nancy Vaidik, Jim Wilkinson and Peter Wood.

Simon Brown QC, Justice Gregory Geason and Dr Simon Gabriel selflessly read the manuscript and offered suggestions for improvement, but the responsibility for any errors or infelicities of style is mine.

Andrew Riddoch of Wildy & Sons has been patient and helpful with advice and positive comments. Thank you also to his able team.

Lastly, thank you to Chris Taylor, the learned overseer who wrote the Cavendish v Downham case study with me and organises everything else with style.

I am grateful to the publishers, authors, individuals and organisations mentioned below who have permitted me to quote from copyright works. Full citations are provided in Appendix 2, ‘Further Reading’.

Where some of the books are quite old it has been difficult to contact the publishers, but I have been careful to acknowledge them.

Thank you to:

• Jason Monaghan of the Federation Press for their books on Tom Hughes QC, Murray Gleeson and Sir Garfield Barwick;

• James Stephens of Biteback Publishing for excerpts from the interview with Norman Birkett;

• Cambridge University Press for an excerpt from David Ross QC’s book on Advocacy;

• Robin Black of The Advocates’ Society of Canada for excerpts from Justice Laskin’s paper;

• Justice Stephen...
