Justice Scalia to deliver oration

One of the United States' most outspoken legal identities will headline a major event at the University of Adelaide in 2011, highlighting the importance of legal advocacy.

US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia - known for his aggressive oral argument and scathingly critical writings - will speak at the 21st Century Advocacy Conference, on 4 February 2011, and will also deliver the 2011 James Crawford Oration on International Law on 2 February.

Other key speakers at the conference include Chief Justice John Doyle AC (Chief Justice of South Australia) and the Hon. Michael Kirby, AC, CMG (former Justice of the High Court of Australia).
