Hidden depths
There is a growing international emphasis on the importance of diversity in the judiciary and the impact of the individual in decision-making.

One of the rare glimpses provided by the justices themselves is their judicial swearing-in speech. Draw…

Using a case study drawn from the swearing-in ceremonies of women judges of the High Court, Federal Court,…
