Highlights

Full of the most majestic pietas, gravitas and dignitas, both monarchist and committed Anglican, he always wore very formal double-breasted suits, and was apparently as monastic in his social habits as he was unbelievably industrious in his work ones
Michael Kirby, as you will all know, has made innumerable contributions to law and policy: it took 35 chapters and 900 pages to begin to summarise them in the festschrift honouring his retirement from the High Court in 2009
