Abstract
"In 40 years as a barrister and judge Peter Heerey AM QC has observed and sometimes taken part in memorable legal events. This work is partly a collection of recollections; a murder trial, a Privy Council appeal, the leading High Court decision on the liability for barristers negligence and the cause célèbre of Professor Sydney Sparkes and his dismissal by the University of Tasmania. It is also a journey into the past and to other lands - both real and fictional. Notable historical and legal figures such as Andrew Inglis Clark, Sir Owen Dixon and Abraham Lincoln are profiled. Travels to the American South, Quebec, Vanuatu and Ireland provide the basis for stories that capture the culture, history and personalities of these countries."--Book Jacket.
