Excerpt: Herbert Vere Evatt, QC KStJ (30 April 1894 - 2 November 1965), was an Australian jurist, politician and writer. He was President of the United Nations General Assembly in 1948-49 and helped draft the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948). He was Leader of the Australian Labor Party (and thus Leader of the Opposition) from 1951 to 1960. Evatt was formally referred to as Dr H. V. Evatt, but was informally known as "Bert Evatt" or "Doc Evatt." Evatt in 1925Evatt was born in Maitland, New South Wales, to a working-class family of British and Irish origins. He was never called Herbert: his family called him Bert, everyone else called him Doc. After attending Fort Street High School in Sydney, Evatt won scholarships to the University of Sydney, where he graduated in 1919 with two University Medals, in Philosophy and Law. He was President of the University of Sydney Union from 1916-17. Evatt was unable to serve in the First World War, in which two of his brothers were killed, due to poor eyesight. He became a prominent industrial lawyer in Sydney, working mainly for trade union clients. In 1925 Evatt was elected as an Australian Labor Party member for Balmain in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly. He served there until 1930. In 1930 the Scullin Labor government appointed Evatt as the youngest-ever justice of the High Court of Australia. Regarded by some as a brilliant and innovative judge, he delivered a number of minority judgements, several of which were decades later adopted by High Court majorities. Evatt could, however, be partial on the bench. Sir Owen Dixon note...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=32261We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
