Judicially Speaking: An Oral History of the High Court of Australia

The High Court of Australia stands at the apex of the Australian judicial system. It is responsible for the judicial development of our law and its application in a changing society. But what is known of this unique national institution beyond its written judgments? What is known of its inner workings and the influences on its decisions? Only those who have occupied the Bench know how it truly operates. Using oral history, and in partnership with the High Court and the National Library of Australia, this project will capture that knowledge to enhance our understanding of the Australian legal system.
