Summary
Details

When Tim Carmody was appointed Chief Justice of Queenslandby Premier Campbell Newman in 2014, he had been Chief Magistrate for only ninemonths.

It proved to be the most controversial judicial appointmentin Australia's history.

Carmody's elevation plunged the Supreme Court and the legalprofession into a bitter conflict with the government and with Carmody himself.

How did he come to be appointed to such a significant position? What can welearn from this saga about the fragile relationships between politics and thecourts? The Tim Carmody Affair placesthe full story of Carmody's damaging and divisive tenure in context, andidentifies key reforms that could prevent this kind of controversy in thefuture.

'A spellbinding and alarming account of one of Australia's greatjudicial dramas that ruptured the legal profession and the courts. The NewmanGovernment's appointment of Tim Carmody as Queensland's Chief Justice is astory of patronage, betrayal, leaking, and political folly. Brilliant and revealing.' - Richard Ackland
