Description

I INTRODUCTION Justice Michael Kirby has recently, and very rightly, praised the common law's great tradition of appointing independent barristers to judicial office, contrasting it with the practice followed in many civil-law countries, in which judicial office is a lifetime career and Judges are promoted through the ranks like any other species of bureaucrat. In Justice Kirby's words, which (with respect) are hard to endorse with adequate enthusiasm, the common law's tradition is 'virtually certain to result in a Judiciary comprising strong-minded, experienced senior-advocates-turned-Judges, not accustomed to thinking of themselves as members of an institutional unit or government service'. (1) That being so, occasional promotions to the judicial office on the highest Court direct from the Bar are not to be resented, but rather to be welcomed in principle.
