Supreme Court Fire of 1968
Manage episode 270886849 series 2610501
In the early hours of a cold Brisbane morning in 1968, David Bertram Brooks entered the unlocked front door of Queensland’s historic Supreme Court. Resentful of the police and the justice system for his frequent arrests, Brooks made his way to the judges’ chambers and set the building alight.
In the days following the fire, judges, their associates, members of the legal profession and law students from The University of Queensland diligently searched through the charred rooms to salvage books, court records, artworks and personal effects.
Speaker the Hon Richard Chesterman AO RFD QC was a judge of the Supreme Court of Queensland (1998–2008) and Queensland Court of Appeal (2008–2012). He also served on the Mental Health Tribunal (1998–2002) and as a Commercial List judge (2002–08). In September 1968 he was a final year law student and associate to the Hon Justice Wanstall, (later Chief Justice).
