For the Term of my Legal Life

The Memoir of John Baulch

John Baulch led a remarkable life in law-one filled with challenges, triumphs, and, above all, a good dose of humour. From practising in Papua New Guinea, the Pacific Islands, and Queensland to serving on the District Court Bench, John's journey was anything but dull.

In this candid and entertaining memoir, John shares the lighter side of legal life, the memorable moments, and the people who made it all worthwhile. He had no interest in writing a solemn legal tome-there are enough of those. Instead, he offers a reflection on the profession as he lived it: with wit, warmth, and an appreciation for the unexpected joys along the way.

Completed posthumously with the dedication of his wife, Christine Baulch, this book is a tribute to John's voice, humour, and unwavering passion for justice. Whether you're in the legal world or simply enjoy a great story, John's reflections will leave you with a smile-and perhaps a new perspective on what it truly means to live a fulfilling life.

Because, in the end, John wouldn't have missed it for quids.
