This volume comprises six substantive papers and two replies each of which were presented at a colloquium held to honour the contribution of Chief Justice French shortly before his retirement from the High Court. The topics were chosen to reflect important aspects or themes from his Honour’s career and public life. Each of the papers represent a significant contribution to legal scholarship as well as providing a fitting tribute to his Honour’s significant contribution to the law.

The impressive contributors to this important volume are Justice Gordon and Justice Edelman of the High Court of Australia, Justice Katrina Banks-Smith of the Federal Court of Australia (Perth), Judge of Appeal Mitchell and Justice Pritchard and Justice Corboy of the Supreme Court of Western Australia, Raelene Webb QC, former President of the National Native Title Tribunal and Professor Anne Twomey of the University of Sydney.
