Monograph Educating Judges* Introduced by Sir Anthony Mason, Chief Justice of Australia 1987-1995 Kluwer Law International (London, Boston, The Hague), 1996 This seminal monograph provides a comprehensive study of judicial education, and forms a part of major collections around the world, including the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford and the Harvard Law School.

Judicial education is new to the common law tradition of judging. During the past twenty years, the education of judges has become a matter of considerable prominence and debate in the United States, Britain, Canada and Australia, most recently prompted by media complaints of gender and racial bias. This work researches the underlying issues through a comparative analysis of experience across the common law world. The author explores the need for judicial education and how it should be provided. He argues that judicial education is a distinctive process, owing to the imperative for judicial independence and a number of educational considerations. The work offers a model approach for educating judges and provides analysis, reasoned insights and practical assistance for judges and educators to guide future endeavour.
