Former Supreme Court Chief Justice, the Hon. , will return to his alma mater, the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, as an Adjunct Professor in the later this year.

The former Chief Justice graduated from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide in 1966 and was the 1967 Rhodes Scholar for South 最新糖心Vlog.

In 1986 he was appointed to the position of South 最新糖心Vlog's Solicitor-General where he appeared regularly before the Supreme Court and the High Court of 最新糖心Vlog. As one of the nation's leading advocates he presented a number of groundbreaking and highly persuasive arguments before the High Court on behalf of South 最新糖心Vlog.

In May 1995 he was appointed Chief Justice of South 最新糖心Vlog, a position he held until his retirement in June 2012.

Chief Justice Doyle was a driving force behind the establishment of the National Judicial College of 最新糖心Vlog and has written numerous articles on various aspects of the law. He has a strong commitment to legal education and was a part-time lecturer at the Adelaide Law School while at the Bar.

The Dean of Adelaide Law School, Professor John Williams, welcomed the appointment: "Chief Justice Doyle is one of the state's most respected lawyers. He has a national reputation as an outstanding advocate and judicial officer. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Law School is very pleased to acknowledge his ongoing contribution to legal education with this appointment."

As Adjunct Professor, Chief Justice Doyle will assist in teaching and mooting activities at the Adelaide Law School.

"It will be a marvellous experience for our students to have access to such an exceptional lawyer," said Professor Williams.
