High schools of High Court Judges

Primary source: Butterworths Australian Legal Dictionary (1997) (additional sources as indicated)

High school count

Note there are four judges without associated high schools, so the upper bound for graduates is the stated number plus four. Also note that because some judges went to multiple high schools, the total count will not sum correctly.

High Court Judges and their schools

I created a list of high court judges and their high schools at User:Enochlau/High Court Judges, prompted by a suggestion at Talk:Fort Street High School that the claims on Fort Street High School and Sydney Grammar School that the schools have 11 and 12 high court judges attend respectively are false. That does seem to be the case, but since I can't find the schools for 4 of them, a definitive number isn't possible to obtain as yet. Any ideas on where Taylor, McHugh, Heydon and Crennan went?

Susan Crennan went to Our Lady of Mercy Convent in Heidelberg. John Dyson Heydon finished his schooling at Shore (Sydney Church of England Grammar School) but was born in Canada and went to various schools around the world. Sarah Ewart 05:21, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks! If I may ask, where did you find that info? enochlau (talk) 08:28, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
dyson heydon's biography is on HC website.--Sumple 10:12, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
No worries. If you go here: [3] and search for their names, you'll find a transcript of the speeches welcoming them as Justices of the High Court. Crennan's is here: [4] and Heydon's is here [5]. The welcome speeches usually include an outline of the person's education. Unfortunately, I think the other two are too old to have their records online. You would probably have to look them up in your law library. Sarah Ewart 10:15, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Taylor also went to Fort Street, which ups the count to 5. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 12:56, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
