History of the Independent Bar of South AustraliaSouth Australia's bar is unique in Australia. This book is itself a rare history of one of the Australian bars and in its foreword, Sir Anthony Mason calls it a 'model history of a profession". Included are chapters on the growth of the SA bar 1837-1964; the development of the "independent" bar 1964-2000; details and brief history of each established set of chambers; and the only complete list with biographical notes of all the Queen's Counsel appointed since 1974. |
