| Synopsis: |
UWA Press is proud to publish the first comprehensive biography of former High Court Justice, President of the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission, Chancellor of Murdoch University, W.A. Inc. Royal Commissioner and President of the Uniting Church of Australia, the late Sir Ronald Wilson. Orphaned early in life and brought up by a housekeeper, Sir Ronald left school at fourteen to earn a living as a messenger in the local Geraldton courthouse before subsequently enjoying a meteoric rise in the legal profession to become a Justice in the highest court in Australia. Best known for "Bringing Them Home" (his moving and controversial 1997 report on the 'Stolen Generations' of Aboriginal children), Sir Ronald was also Crown Prosecutor, Counsel and Solicitor-General in a number of high profile, important criminal, civil and constitutional cases, including the trials of Eric Cooke (the last man hanged in Western Australia), John Button and Darryl Beamish."A Matter of Conscience: Sir Ronald Wilson" makes an important contribution to legal and political biography, one that will be of immense public significance and interest, containing, as it does, great insights into this highly complex, thoughtful and talented Australian. |
