Sir George Hermann Lush Шаблон:Post-nominals (5 October 1912 – 5 April 2000) was an Australian lawyer, Supreme Court Judge and Chancellor of Monash University.[1]
Early life and education
Lush was born in Hawthorn, a suburb of Melbourne to a Baptist family in 1912. His father, George was a successful merchant and his brother, Robert was a World War One hero, who was awarded the Military Cross (MC) for gallantry.[2]
Lush began his education at Carey Baptist Grammar School, where he matriculated in 1929 as a school prefect and dux.[1][3] Afterwards, he studied at the University of Melbourne to obtain a Master of Laws (ML) while at Ormond College.[1]
Career
In 1935, Lush joined the Victorian Bar, in which he established a law practise.[1] Despite those initial successes, Lush put his career on hold in order to join the Second Australian Imperial Force (AIF) in 1940.[4] He would eventually serve in the Middle East and New Guinea, of which he rose to the rank of Captain upon his decommissioning in 1946.[3]
After the war, Lush re-established his fledgling law practise while also lecturing at the University of Melbourne's Faculty of Law.[1] He would be appointed a Queen's Counsel (QC) in 1957[3] and would rise to become the Chairman of both the Victorian Bar Association and Australian Bar Association in the early 1960s.[5]
In February 1966, Lush was appointed a Judge of the Supreme Court of Victoria and would serve in that role until October 1983.[6][5]
After his time as a judge, Monash University appointed him its next Chancellor in 1983.[1] He would lead the University through difficult times due to the reduced funding by the Commonwealth Government for tertiary education.[3] Lush served in that capacity for nine years until his retirement in 1992.[3]
