Who should teach law? Should it be the person with considerable
academic training but who has never appeared in Court, never had to argue
his views on construction of Statutes or decided cases against experienced
counsel nor had a Judge reject his carefully prepared argument as being
totally without merit? Is it better for the student to attend lectures
by a barrister or solicitor who has to fit in his attendance with a busy
professional life, with no time to see students outside the lecture room
and perhaps relying on unrevised notes? When Roger O'Halloran attended
the Melbourne Law School, Professor Kenneth Baily was the only permanent
member of the faculty. Mr. O'Halloran thought Bailey's defining of
appropriate law to a given situation was ambivalent and that he was fortunate
to attend lectures by members of the bar, Edmund Herring, later Chief Justice,
Charles Gavan Duffy and Norman O'Bryan, both later Supreme Court Justices,
and J.A. Richardson, a County Court Judge.
