- Description
- In his presentation on judicial independence to the Australian Judicial Conference in November 1996, the then Chief Justice, Sir Gerard Brennan, stated: Judicial independence is not a quality that is picked up with the judicial gown or conferred by the judicial commission. It is a cast of mind that is a feature of personal character honed, however, by exposure to those judicial officers and professional colleagues who possess that quality and, on fortunately rare occasions, by reaction against some instance where independence has been compromised. Other chapters in this volume have helpfully considered the theoretical, historical and applied dimensions of both collective and personal judicial independence in Australia and other jurisdictions. Andrew Lynch's chapter analyses recent extracurial responses to arguments around 'decisional independence' in appellate courts. Our chapter also focuses specifically and deliberately on the individual (rather than the institutional or collective) dimension of judicial independence. However, we seek to invoke the lenses of 'judicial independence' and 'extra-curial writing' in a different manner.
