11 MLAANZ Journal 1 (1995)

handle is hein.journals/ausnewma11 and id is 1 raw text is: Morella Calder Eulogy delivered by Mr Justice Carruthers on 23 November 1994 in the Supreme Court of New South Wales This is the first occasion on which the Admiralty Court has assem- bled since the sad announcement of the death yesterday of Morella Calder. I should like to express the deep sympathy of the Court to Morella's husband, Tim Hancock (of the New South Wales Bar) and their son, Justin Calder Hancock. Morella Calder was a pioneer in the practice of Maritime Law in this country. She was one of the only two women lawyers who practised maritime law in this country in the 1960s. Having earlier graduated in Arts and Law from the University of Adelaide, Ms Calder went to London and worked there in the shipping field. She made an immediate impact in London and attended at sessions of the Third United Nations Conferences on the Law of the Sea, held at Caracas, Geneva and New York. Upon her return to Australia she again practised law in South Australia with Finlaysons and later, when she moved to Sydney (inter alia), with Michell Sillar. She was very involved in the work of the Maritime Law Associa- tion of Australia and New Zealand, being one of the foundation members of the Association and, until this year, was the only woman to have held office in the Association.
