Heydon: Selected Speeches and Papers

03/07/2018

By the Honourable J D Heydon AC QC, Edited by the Honourable John Sackar and Thomas Prince

This insightful, rewarding and highly readable volume is a generous selection of the best of Dyson Heydon’s speeches and papers. Most have a legal theme, although the book is of broader interest. As the Hon Ian Callinan AC observes in his preface, in these papers the author “combines the arts of the essayist, historian, orator, obituarist, reviewer, critic, teacher and advocate … Any reader of the Papers will be struck by the depth and width of the author’s scholarship. There is not one of the Papers that is not rich in unaffected literary, historical and legal allusion. They are a mine of interesting facts and intelligent fresh insights”.
